I won’t be flying Southwest.

[stratboy]

Maybe if there are enough cancellations and enough people opt for a different airline, SW might be forced to change the stance.

[Zathras]

The Southwest employees are why people fly Southwest.
The Southwest CEO is going to find this out very quickly.

[Manuel OKelley]

Been saying that a while.

I know lots of IT folks in the same position who keep a lot of critical infrastructure running-—they go home things will start breaking pretty fast

[Manuel OKelley]

If Herb comes back and takes over we got bigger problems than anything we have seen so far.

[EEGator]

The vast majority of the guys I know in the electric transmission/distribution industry are not big on taking the vaccine. And, we are extremely undermanned and aged.
We will “live in interesting times”.

We can drive instead of flying for a lot longer than the airlines can stay solvent.

“In addition, because Southwest is a federal contractor, the Vaccine Policy is required by law"

A Rapin Bill "joodge" [stooge judge] rules in favor of Big Government - lying about a non-existent "law".

Stooges gonna stooge, and the liar doesn't fall far from The Big Bill Lying Tree...

The case is Southwest Airlines Pilots Association v. Southwest Airlines Co., 3:21-cv-02065-M, filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas in Dallas.

Two chances for a Rapin Bill stooge, three Dubya judges [any squishes?] and three Trump judges.

AAAANNNNDDD they got a stooge.

There is no “law” - she’s a Clinton “joodge”, and she’s just making sh*t up.

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

Just tell the management that either this Biden mandate gets ignored for ALL SWA employees, or all pilots walk off on Monday Nov 22.

[Falconspeed]

Barbara M. G. Lynn fails as a judge and is defeated by simple logic.

[ReformedBeckite]

I wonder if the Federal Government is putting more pressure on Southwest vs the other airlines being their headquarters is in Dallas, I know Texas is a Red state but I don't know how Dallas is as far as politics.

I do know though that one of the major hubs of Southwest is in Nashville, which is in a major red State of Tennessee, which I'm sure the commies would like to see economically destroyed or lets say most of it being their is a few Democrat strong holds in it like Memphis. Nashville is kind of politically in the middle of the road.
