Weird... I witnessed with my little old eyes. LGA long winter conga lines in TPA just a day ago. 2+ hr delays for guess what.... Jax center staffing! But I’m sure it was all planned leave.

So it had nothing to do with a thunderstorms in the Carolina’s and a shutdown of the AR’s for military use?

The NorCal rant was from a liberal making fun of DAL/HOU based pilots.

And why didn't they coordinate this with the *other* Texas airline pilot group?

Far too many libs & mission hackers over here...

On the other hand, for Southwest…. this could be a snowball effect. Again, I’m not at southwest, just giving my 2 cents as an outsider. But being that the mandates don’t look to be going away anytime soon, passengers could view this is a long term/reoccurring theme and therefore be nervous about making future bookings. Who cares about a $50 one way to Vegas if you’re not sure you’re going to make it there. The TAF for the mandated inclement weather doesn’t look to be going away anytime soon.

I don’t think it will last much longer. Nov24th or Dec 8th unfortunately. If it was a job action, which it isn’t. It would be great if all pilot groups got together and sent a message.

I know a couple people who are now dead because of Covid and they did not take the vax. How much you want to bet if they could be alive and go back in time, they would?

Maybe some, but for many…Darwin.

Intelligent people weigh facts and change their minds when facts change. Others stick their head deeper into their comforting echo chamber, coddled by groupthink, and violently attacking infidels who challenge their cult. That those in the echo chamber don’t recognize where they are is a feature, not a bug. Death martyrs them, so many will gladly make that sacrifice instead of confronting a reality in which they were misled, mistaken, selfish or stubborn.

COVID has presented an interesting situation where the immediate impact of one’s choices is so apparent. We each make our choices and deal with the consequences…we should just stop whining about having to endure the inevitable result of our own grown-up choices. We have the right to choose, just deal with the results and stop sniveling.

I mean he’s right, it’s all over the news. It isn’t a secret. Rickair didn’t set the precedent this weekend, y’all did.

It isn’t funny given the precedent set by Spirit airlines
But go ahead and make great big joke

You sound like someone grasping at straws to pick apart a statement you don’t agree with by making unrelated attacks.

Thanks for admitting as much as we knew. Everyone else had great weather and no ATC issues throughout the day. Only SWA alt-righters decided to call in sick en masse... And we all know why.

If true, way to go Southwest pilots, if only united could have had half the balls. Hopefully we can fight any mandates if they come. Cheers to Southwest pilots
