#swairlinesvaccinemandate Our newspaper has an article about Southwest Airlines and the large number of canceled flights. The airline claims that bad weather has caused the cancelation of all these flights with great inconvenience to the traveling public.
If we dig deeper, we will find a titanic power struggle going on between the airline and the unions that represent its pilot and flight crews. It is all about a mandate that all these personnel must be vaccinated against Covid-19.
Before I go any further, please allow me to disclose that I have had my two Pfizer shots to protect me from Covid-19. I will get a booster shot in December. I feel that everyone needs to investigate the issue and think long and hard before proceeding to vaccination.
A majority of the pilot's union membership voted to resist this order to get vaccinated. A lawsuit has been filed in US District Court to block this vaccination mandate. (These suits fail, by the way.)
What is most disturbing is the education and training of the people in this union. All union members have a minimum of a bachelor's degree. A high percentage of them are former military pilots who served an average of six years flying aircraft in the US Air Force, US Navy, and US Marine Corps. I have personal experience with naval aviation. One first must pass a rigorous test including a psychological test. Many applicants are rejected. Then comes flight training and advanced flight schools where many more applicants fail to meet the rigorous standards.
Once these young men and women graduate, they become commissioned officers and start to wear pilot's or naval flight officer's wings. They often fly combat missions. Some are tragically killed in battle or in accidents. They go to all sorts of advanced training. When they complete their military service, many join airlines like Southwest Airlines.
As this confrontation continues, Southwest Airlines will suffer massive financial losses. Those who resist the mandate will get fired. They will not get unemployment benefits. I suspect that other airlines will not hire them.
This whole story is disturbing. It says one thing to me. The US government and the pharmaceutical companies that developed these vaccines are not doing a very good job of educating the public on the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines.

Or maybe they're not safe or effective?

You do understand that pilots take an annual medical exam specific for aviation and not just general health, right? One of the side effects of the vaccine on some is clotting. Watch the Sailing Doodles channel on YouTube, early episodes if you want to learn the story. and if you're into busty chicks in bikinis watch the others ;) The creator is a former commercial pilot that had a minor stroke in his 30's. Lost his job for life as a pilot.

As you say many of these guys/gals are well educated. They did due diligence. They determined that even a small chance of having a stroke or heart issue wasn't worth the risk over getting the actual virus. I'd say they're pretty smart. You have any major event health wise and survive your career is over. They'll get work flying something if they get fired. I'd rather be out of work for a little bit instead of career change after all that work put in to getting where you are.

Joe Biden and the Democrats could make these issues disappear overnight if they just stopped pushing vaccine mandates and weaponizing 3-4 letter agencies to force injections into people. Really soak that statement in. There's ZERO law you have to be vaccinated. Congress did not approve of OSHA making any mandate. POTUS did. If there are long term health issues linked to the vaccine, this will likely be a bigger historic headline than Nazi Germany. We're talking over a billion people probably vaccinated already.

Oh, and the vaccine actually doesn't work. It's a lose-lose proposition for pilots.

Now the media is reporting it as a fact. Instead of as rumor despite the fact that they could throw a rock and hit a SW employee that was telling them what was going on.. They can't hide it anymore.

I don't know requirements for FA's, but I 1,000% agree with any pilot that doesn't want the vaccine. Take a week or two off if you get Covid. No biggie. Get one of the substantial side effects of the jab if you're unlucky and you're done in commercial aviation. The maybe 0.5% risk of a bad covid bout, or taking an experimental drug that has the potential to end your career? I'll take Covid 10 out of 10 times for the ages of 80% of pilots.

Not predicting anything, but wouldn't be shocked if we have a person like the guy in Europe that was depressed and intentionally crashes a plane. We're playing stupid games with an endemic virus at this point. We need to move forward. 634 people have died in just Chicago this year from shootings. Maybe our ICU's are being filled up with that bull shit? Throw in other major cities and the number would shock people now that we track dying with covid and not because of covid.

Death is sad, but at least most dying lived to and beyond life expectancy. We need to get rid of these mandates yesterday.

LOL! You sound like Laquisha trying to es'plain to me, circa 2008 why Voting for Obama would solve all of America's problems."

Ohomen171, I believe you are anti freedom. This is all evil. Do you know what banality of evil is?

Agreed. They're so focused on pushing propaganda, they haven't had time to educate. Fortunately, the independent news media has picked up the slack, and many people have learned to research for themselves. I know that's been a positive of the scamdemic for me.

@ohomen171 have you read the study that came out of Vietnam about covid spreading through hospital staff there? That could help you understand what's going on better.

I like ohomen's input to the site. I hate how he ghosts his own threads though. What was the point?

I address the reason pilots would be nervous of the vax and get no response. It could literally be a career changing and life changing decision if they have a minor stroke or heart attack. Symptoms of the vax. Putting out opinions that are false are dangerous. Pilots have every right to boycott the vaccine and should even though it's going to probably fuck up my trip next week.

Tucker Carlson said half of air traffic controllers in the country are unjabbed and they will be fired Dec. 8, bringing air traffic to a halt just in time for the holidays.

Oh yah?
BOOM! Federal judge blocks United Airlines from mandating the vax, in a preliminary injunction!

It's a good first step to once again allow medical and religious exemptions, but it missing the main point:

The mandates are such a gross and unforgivable violation of basic human rights that the only appropriate response is a US military assault and the capture, trial, and speedy execution of the genocidal maniacs imposing it. Judges have proven themselves weak and corrupt.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are all being lost right now. The Constitution is being burned in front of our eyes for the profit and power of psychopaths like Fauci and Pfizer execs. The military swore to defend the Constitution. Will they?

The military just botched our withdrawal from Afghanistan leaving about 15 million women there as slaves. They let the country be invaded by about 18 million illegals without firing a shot. ---- You should not have faith in these clusterfucks.

They're still getting their $$$$ so they don't care. Now big pharma is getting their take. The Judiciary branch of our government is pure shit. Used to be a decent fallback from the morons in Congress and a bad POTUS.
