There was speculation on social media that the flight cancelations were being triggered by employees calling in sick en masse. In its statement Saturday, Southwest did not make reference to the speculation.
Also it's possible the pilots will follow soon as they know well heart related side effects will be exacerbated at high altitude.

people are furious with Southwest Airlines. By blaming non-existent weather problems, they were able to avoid giving refunds or paying for layover expenses for those left stranded, many sitting on planes for hours.

I'm guessing because the Feds are attempting to put everything travel related under their jurisdiction, even in states like Florida, they are mandating the Covid shot. So looks like the ATC's in Jacksonville decided to protest and took out a significant amount of flights. And I've never heard JAX was any sort of hub.
Now imagine if this happened at Midway, LAX, SFO, Kennedy or La Guardia, Denver. Imagine if it was more than just one day. Feds would have to pull military ATC's, and I doubt they have enough. Now imagine if we did this across other industries.
