Airline system vax rebellion?

Over enthusiasm alert!

I have nothing to back this up except the knowledge that low-cost airlines keep reserve crews to a minimum and incentivize regular scheduled lineholders to pick up extra flying.

With that said, a tiny number of crew members simply taking their sick days would grind the operation to a halt. I am doubtful that this is an organized movement. If it were, the company would claim that the union is violating the contract and will sue the pilot group for damages. Look for the union to throw people under the bus quicker than the company.

It distresses me when I hear several of my favorite talking heads in alternative media touting this as the second Lexington and Concord.

For these reasons, I guard against over enthusiasm.

Pilots and aircrew are shortly to become part of the Federal Government. Airlines can still own the planes to give the illusion of a private sector, but I see the Federalizing of pilots and crew the same as they did security with the TSA.

This is the same group whose director was on Carlson just a few minutes ago.

But his take was simple: I cannot tell people what to do or organize people to walk out, sick out or clock out.

That would be illegal.

But I can tell people to just say one simple word.

NO.

What they do past that, (wink wink nudge nudge) is up to them.

That is why I put a question mark at the end of the thread title.

One can only hope.

Well, not quite - one can at least also enjoy the spluttering outrage of asshats like the ones in post #2. At least things haven't (yet) gone so far down the path to outright totalitarianism that the jackboots and their lickers aren't still terrified at the prospect that there might be significant pushback.

I've seen 44 out of the lower 48. I've driven across 94, 90, 80, 70, 44, 20 and 10 from Maryland to North Dakota, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. It always cracks me up when people say this country is overpopulated. I just think to myself, drive west out of Topeka - you can run 83 mph for 9 hours and you won't see more than a grain silo, until you hit Denver.
 
The Great Southwest Airlines Rebellion?

The Great Southwest Airlines Rebellion?

The incredible cruelty and folly of forced vaccines finally came home to roost. The vaccine mandate backlash has been bubbling just under the surface, but now it has spilled out into the open, threatening to completely derail an already crumbling economy and to obliterate a deeply unpopular US President and Administration.

Seemingly out of nowhere what appears to be a Southwest Airlines rebellion has taken flight this weekend. According to media reports, scores of pilots and other Southwest employees have coordinated the taking of “sick days” to use them up in advance of a Southwest Airlines mandate to get the jab or lose the job. Over Saturday and Sunday more than 2,000 flights have been cancelled, with airports experiencing full-on mayhem.

The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association is suing the airline over the imposed vaccine mandate, bolstering the claim that there is a “sick out” underway among angry Southwest pilots.

The mainstream media is doing its best to keep a lid on the expanding rebellion against the vaccine mandates, and Southwest Airlines itself is blaming the cancellations on bad weather and a lack of air traffic controllers. However, the weather problems that Southwest claims to be experiencing seem unique to that carrier: no other airline (thus far) is reporting such weather-related cancellations. And FAA spokesperson Steve Kulm told USA Today that “No FAA air traffic staffing shortages have been reported since Friday.”

Will other pilots, such as at American Airlines, follow suit? Rumors are circling that this is only the beginning.

Over the past few weeks, thousands of nurses, medical workers, and first responders have either quit or been fired for refusing to receive a medical treatment they do not want or need. The “nursing shortage” that Democrat politicians and the mainstream media had been blaming on “rising Covid cases” has been in reality a man-made disaster of historic proportions. The nursing crisis is not caused by “Covid” — cases have been in decline in the US for weeks. It is caused by the firing of medical personnel who refuse to take the experimental Covid shots.

The stupidity of adopting a policy of firing healthcare workers while at the same time claiming that there is a raging pandemic gripping the country has not been lost on Americans. President Biden’s polling numbers have unsurprisingly been in freefall, with major Democrat candidates like Virginia’s Terry McAuliffe openly complaining that the deeply unpopular Biden is threatening him in a tight race for governor.

While Biden Administration lackeys like Fauci are telling Americans they can’t celebrate Christmas again this year, more and more of America is finished with this “public health” terrorism. Here in Texas, a hundred thousand unmasked Texas A&M fans poured onto the football field on Saturday after a last minute surprise victory over Alabama. In Texas and elsewhere, the Administration is losing the fear factor.

History may record this weekend as the turning point against the Biden Administration’s Covid tyranny. From nurses to pilots to truckers to even Amtrak workers, it appears that America is standing up and saying “enough!” Every one of our fellow citizens standing up on principle to oppose tyranny — facing the loss of their jobs and security — is owed a debt of gratitude by all who love liberty. Let’s hope that the peaceful rebellion continues to grow!

Pete Buttigieg Absent as Flight Delays Snarl Columbus Day Weekend Travel

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...ght-delays-snarl-columbus-day-weekend-travel/

Charlie Spiering 11 Oct 2021

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was absent Monday as a surge of flight delays snarled travel in the South over the Columbus Day weekend.

Southwest Airlines canceled more than 2,300 flights over the three-day federal holiday weekend, citing limited staffing and bad weather.

The Department of Transportation did not reply to a request for comment from Breitbart News on Monday about Buttigieg’s response to the crisis or about where he spent the weekend.

But Buttigieg’s Twitter account shared a message promoting Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a leftist alternative proposal to the celebration of Columbus Day.

This Indigenous Peoples' Day, @USDOT honors the history, culture, and achievements of Native Americans and recognizes our role in ensuring Indigenous people have ready access to safe, reliable transportation services.

— Secretary Pete Buttigieg (@SecretaryPete) October 11, 2021

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that the delays on Friday were a result of severe weather, military training and limited staffing in a Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center but did not share any details about the interrupted flights over the rest of the weekend.

The delays occurred two days after the Southwest Airlines pilots’ union asked a federal judge to block the company’s vaccine mandate, prompting speculation about a possible “sick out” protest of employees reacting to the draconian measure.

A Southwest Airlines spokeswoman denied any evidence of a coordinated staff protest.

“It’s inaccurate,” a spokeswoman told CNBC. “There’s a lot of unfounded rumor and speculation circulating.”

Buttigieg remained silent through Monday, despite the crisis.

The Secretary of Transportation was last seen on Friday in an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

Buttigieg spoke about the ongoing struggles to deal with the clogged ship ports as well as being a new parent of twins.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s incredibly… it’s the most demanding thing I think I’ve ever done,” he said about becoming a parent
