The airlines are screwed

Southwest pilots have had enough.  They are not flying.  And the airlines are going to start realizing that if they continue firing people or use a non-existent executive order as an excuse to mandate something, then they are FUBAR.

Southwest is blaming bright, sunshiny weather for the over 2000 cancelations over the weekend instead of their heavy-handed mandate.  Pilots from the other airlines are going to start to follow.

This is an unusual situation where the workers cannot be easily replaced.  It’s pretty specialized. So they actually hold the cards.

And considering there is no mandate, no executive order, no regulations, no law for them to hide behind, they are going to learn pretty quick that if they want to stay in business, they need to back the fuck off.

And if they aren’t flying, then Fauxi’s wet dream of a domestic passport goes bye-bye also.

  1. Lots of other jobs and people gonna decide “no”. Expect lots more like this…especially since the Media is admitting that it is in large part fueled by the Vaccination Refusers. Everyone who wants a shot likely already HAS one. The only way to get that number up is to force 'em to get it.And unlike Australia and Scotland, the American People (some of us at least) have a backbone and can shoot back at the cops if necessary. Let us hope we don't have to go there.

  3. B-The pilots, ATC, and now Amtrak are the most visible. But yeah, they're rapidly going to force, then things are going to get froggy.NFO-All of those and the military is next. Not sure if the Libs think that's a bug or a feature.

  5. Rock–I'm hoping they do. The media is trying their level best to keep a lid on it so it doesn't spread. But pilots talk to each other…
