Oh it is way more than a slippery slope, it is reckless and outright dangerous.

Just remember this.....15 days to slow the curve, to take this or else. People's willingness to just "do what you are told" under threat and fear is a million times more dangerous than any virus.

skywest wants the vaccine mandate. They’ll say “we were forced to do it”, but in reality it’s to their benefit, if you aren’t vaccinated and they call you to say you’ve been in close contact with a COVID case, then they have to pull you off the trip, if you’re vaccinated, they don’t. That’s way cheaper and less disruptive for them. Another reason the mandate is not far off.

I would think any SkyWest owned 900s go to AA in 65 seat config and any Delta owned airplanes go to 9E.

I understand there are 20 delta owned atmospheres. Also understand a bunch are Minnie.

Perhaps the atmospheres shift to WO 9E and go eastward/elsewhere and the ERJs backfill MSP.

WAG, but I’m guessing they go to MSP/IAH.
