That's ridiculous. I mean, hydrogen peroxide didn't even win any Nobel Prizes!

Aww southwest pilots don’t wanna get vaccinated.

I’d say at least 40% tonight had no masks on

Finally had a trip back to the States after 2 1/2 years.

I can proudly report a 99.9% vaccination rate for Air Force football games, considering masks are required for all unvaccinated fans.

Looks like hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin ain't working so well for Allen West. He's now in hospital.

What a ****ing moron.

Hope nobody's flying Southwest. Tough weekend. Won't get better.
Or now American for that matter (so goes the rumor).

SWAPA (Southwest pilots union) is suing based on breech of the union contract.

I know a couple of (other airline) pilots. According to them, the debate isn't about the mandate; it's largely about managing pilots with adverse reactions. The union contracts are far more complicated than I understand, but basically, the pilots want to be able to take a day or two off if they're unwell after the shots, and have it not pull from sick time and not have whatever the usual process is that happens when a pilot is sick. Which seems reasonable, to be honest.

the weekend's issues seem to come from the fact that SWA booked a full schedule without coming close to having enough staff. All airlines are running into staffing issues, and many have attempted full schedules, but only SWA waits until the last possible second to cancel.

Many companies are allowing time off after shot ans not have it come from pto or sick time so that seems entirely reasonable

I'd say Covid mandate was another drip in a drip-drip-drip eroding relationship between SWAPA union and SWA.

That's certainly possible, if not likely, however I do not care. Get vaccinated or don't be around people.

Based on the court filing, sounds like you'd be perfect for the SWA side of the SWAPA/SWA negotiating table. :-D

SWA is denying their meltdown this past weekend was due to a pilot sickout. But ultimately their union is bending to the noisiest and most obnoxious 5% of their membership, so **** 'em.

On that very specific thing? Sure. Otherwise I think the union is totally right demanding non-sick-time-use for adverse reaction-caused time off. I'm entirely with the union on that, and think that if that is, in fact, the sticking point then SWA management is dead wrong. Most other good companies figured that out 10 months ago.
