Woke bare-bones Southwest Airlines was forced to cancel at least 1800 flights over the weekend, and have already started cancelling hundreds of flights today (Monday), due to widespread backlash by Southwest Airlines pilots to a new China virus “vaccine” mandate.
Instead of admitting what we believe is the real reason for the flight cancellations, Southwest Airlines is blaming “bad weather”, which everyone knows is a pretty much bullshit false excuse. IF Southwest Airlines’ flight cancellations were really due to weather, as they claim, you would see other airlines cancelling thousands of flights as well, but that hasn’t happened.
No, it isn’t “bad weather” forcing the cancellations of many the Southwest Airlines flights – it’s caused by pissed-off pilots and air-traffic controllers, who are revolting, and decided to look out for their health instead of their job.
For the gaslighting corporate media and progressive pay for play shills, here is the Southwest pilots association’s motion for a restraining order against the airline. Guess what it’s about? https://t.co/tjpZww7TmY pic.twitter.com/KIWeTQjCou

Southwest Airlines Co. pilots asked a court to temporarily block the company from carrying out federally mandated coronavirus vaccinations until an existing lawsuit over alleged U.S. labor law violations is resolved.
The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association’s filing Friday also asked for an immediate hearing on the request before a federal court in Dallas, claiming the carrier has continued to take unilateral actions that violate terms of the Railway Labor Act, which governs airline-union relations. Those steps include the Covid-19 vaccination requirement.
“The new vaccine mandate unlawfully imposes new conditions of employment and the new policy threatens termination of any pilot not fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021,” the legal filing said. “Southwest Airlines’ additional new and unilateral modification of the parties’ collective bargaining agreement is in clear violation of the RLA.”
Southwest set the deadline on Oct. 4 under a federal vaccination mandate for employees of companies holding contracts with the U.S. government. Workers can seek medical or religious exemptions. The union represents 9,000 Southwest pilots.
And the dire situation, caused by the democrats and their senile puppet fake president, will only spread into other airlines and industries.
If you think cancelled airline flights is bad, wait until the vaccine mandates hit the trucking industry, and half the truckers shut down deliveries of all of the shit that keeps America working. THAT will stop all commerce in America and be a back-breaker to these China Virus “vaccine” mandates.
Just two days after the Southwest pilots union asked a federal judge to block the company’s vaccine mandate, the airline canceled 1,800 flights this weekend, blaming bad weather.
“Southwest Airlines canceled more than 1,800 flights this weekend, disrupting the travel plans of thousands of customers and stranding flight crews, blaming the meltdown on a combination of bad weather, air traffic control and its own shortage of available staff,” reported CNBC.
In a note to staff on Sunday, Alan Kasher, executive vice president of daily flight operations, said that the airline “did not anticipate” the series of disruptions that arose over the weekend.
“I know this is incredibly difficult for all of you, and our customers are not happy,” said Kasher.
“Although we were staffed for the weekend, we could not anticipate the significant disruption that was created from unexpected ATC issues and bad weather across our Florida stations,” he added.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said bad weather and staffing issues in Florida contributed to a “few hours” of flight delays on Friday afternoon at the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center, which “controls airspace in five parts of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina,” according to CNBC.
“No FAA air traffic staffing shortages have been reported since Friday,” the FAA said. “Some airlines continue to experience scheduling challenges due to aircraft and crews being out of place. Please contact the airlines for details about current flight schedules.”
