Funny how the truth always works it way out.
Southwest Airlines flight cancellation presumed to be a pilot vaccine strike
Southwest Airlines has accused about 2,000 flights this weekend of having bad weather and tower problems, but many believe the real reason is … a pilot strike over vaccines. increase.
This is a deal … More than 1,800 SA flights (and counts) were canceled straight between Saturday and Sunday across the country-more passengers got stuck or didn’t fly on holiday weekends Did.
Southwest Airlines said bad weather in Florida and subsequent air traffic control disruptions were responsible for the mass cancellations, but the FAA pushed back after admitting that Friday was a bit confused in Jacksonville. But Saturday / Sunday didn’t seem to be a problem. Other airlines also reported significantly less cancellations during the same period.
So … what do you give? Someone doesn’t seem to be frank about why so many Southwest Airlines continue to land, but there is a theory that they may have some credibility.
On Friday, the Southwest Pilots Union filed a legal document calling for the suspension of vaccine obligations that came into effect last week-the following: Biden Orders to federal workers and / or contractors that apply to airlines. It seems to have been left unresolved towards the weekend.
The Southwest hasn’t talked about the possibility of a strike … but the union itself has overthrown the notion that they should blame … “[W]We can confidently say that our pilots are not participating in formal or informal work activities. And … some major shades.
“Our pilots continue to overcome poor SWA management planning and external operational challenges and remain the most productive pilots in the world.”
On record, they have denied all sorts of protests, but quoting airline sources, there are reports that large-scale “sick outs” have diminished and spillover effects are still felt.
No matter what the truth here … it’s ruining many people and causing many problems. And if sick-out speculation benefits, it can also be a bad sign of what will happen in other industries that may try to vaccinate employees.
