Kyle, thanks for this. Heard thru grapevine the mandate is the real story.

The only pilots who are safe to fly are ones who did not get the Covid poison shots.

The people behind this entire charade want to limit our freedom of movement. Only "sovereign" elites will probably be able to fly in the future. Rules for thee but not for me.

What a lovely tyrannical experience flying has been in the recent decades anyway: so, you'd like to go somewhere? We will trap you and scan your fingerprints and irises (eye is identification like fingerprints), X-Ray your metrics via bodyscanners, and not inform the American public clearly that they have a right to refuse and that this data is being used for other purposes...

I don’t know if it was Southwest, but the minute I heard about the pilot dying from a sudden heart attack and the co-pilot having to take over and land the plane, I thought that was it for me flying anywhere for any reason. Of course it’s the Covid policy and I don’t blame the pilots one bit for the walkout. The problem is that the passengers are the ones who suffer. Maybe all the airlines should just stage a massive walkout until the mandates are repealed.

Not just passengers suffer. Everyone does. Why should a pilot or employee take a jab so passengers can be convenienced?

Pretty dumb way to think.

Yep, you’re right. Should have included that in my comment.

There's a business opportunity for an airline that only uses unvaccinated pilots. However, (a) they would block its success, and (b) someone would probably sabotage the plane or pilot to prove that this was more dangerous than the jabbed pilots.

Glad I don’t fly Southwest Airlines. The CEO must be a die-hard leftist who promised Biden Administration cronies he’d mandate the vaccine in exchange for the billions of federal dollars he and Southwest took. I hope these abused customers get reimbursed for all their troubles and financial losses during this latest snafoo. Incompetence, poor attendance of agents, out of date computer system (after receiving billions 💰) are to blame more than the storm.

Of course the walkouts are from Southwest’s archaic Covid shot policy. Read the news on who is dying of Covid now…the vaccinated. I would take it either today given the choice. There are hundreds of articles like this one and the CEO should give people Health Freedom and a person’s right to choose/make their own healthcare decisions with their doctor. https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/very-urgent-do-covid-mrna-vaccines?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=363080&post_id=93059280&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

Many corporations are still mandating the sacred miracle elixir.

Employment conditions must remain in the hands of the individual contractor and contracted.

"I will gladly work for your airline, be dependable, cheerful and compliant of reasonable standards of dress and behavior to protect the integrity of your company. I will not take a medical procedure, be tested for a condition repeatedly, or wear pseudo-medical (masks) aids to comfort or reassure others. If you find your company is in need of people who are willing to serve your customers and you are able to comply with my requirements, please call me and we can work something out."

"We have decided that it is not worth the bad feelings our former policies have caused. We will no longer insist all employees take vaccines they do not want, test when they feel good, or wear masks over their mouth and noses. If you are willing to work for a shared goal of mutual benefit and profit you will not be expected to compromise your firmly held belief in personal health care. If we find at a future date your health care compromises other staff or customers, we retain a right to terminate at will."

In a world of free people this is how things should play out.

How to destroy a business 101. Southwest may have a chapter on itself in the history books.

How dumb can a CEO be?

The guy hasn't made one decision since becoming "president," except maybe what flavor of ice cream he would like on his cone. He is the very definition of "puppet." He has a hard enough time reading from a teleprompter.
