One report says "Mass sickout" due to the vaccine mandate. 800 flights cancelled on Saturday, 1000 on Sunday. American Airlines workers  are rumored to be organizing the same thing

 

 

EDIT:

Southwest is blaming the weather. But social media and internal comms say differently:

Meanwhile, TX banned vaccine mandate.

Apparently, many pilots with 20+ years, making $400K+ per year, and don’t really need the job, have lots of sick time banked, and want to use it before November, when they will ultimately be let go for not getting the jab. The mandate was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but there are other issues as well. 
 

I’m basing this off of the last few days worth of tweets from this SW pilot.

Look at the outbreaks on those SEC states. /s

 

Every weekend, packed stadiums, no masks, for college football. Low number of cases.

“Just wait two weeks” :haha:

 

 

You probably noticed Minnesota is the worst state right now. You know what? Nobody here cares that much about it.  There are some news stories about it, but not the hysteria we’d see if we had a Republican Governor. There will probably be pressure going forward to bring back mask mandates, and such, but I don’t think our Democrat Governor is a big fan of it.

Isn't it about time for flu season up north?

 

If your governor is up for reelection, he'll probably decide based on what's supported by the majority in your state (mask or no mask).

Probably no mask then, based on my observations.

It’s bizarre. It will only be tweets from conservatives. She’s on their radar, because she’s already been suspended once, for calling out an AP reporter who wrote that DeSantis is only promoting the Monoclonal Antibodies to enrich a donor. It will be a miracle if they don’t suspend her again, or ban her at some point. Her body count is getting pretty high.
