Want to make the airlines miserable?
Get the MAINTENANCE WORKERS involved in the "sick out".
At least every two days, line maintenance teams perform a visual check, fluid level check and tire pressure check. This “daily check” also provides the mechanics with a good opportunity to look for system abnormalities.
Every few days, the airplane is scheduled to spend time at a maintenance base, undergoing part of a more thorough maintenance examination.
Shut down maintenance = ZERO planes in the air. Industry is shut down.
50% maintenance speed = planes out of service for extra days, as much as 30% fewer flights available.
ALL airline employees should be involved, not just the pilots union. Get baggage handlers and ground crew and air traffic controllers involved. 😊
And they worked thru this whole 18 months when no one knew anything about the virus itself except the Chinese dropping dead on the streets of Wuhan (they said) that is the most heroic thing ever. Suddenly they are not as essential as Congress or the FDA and other agencies they exempted from the mandates? It is pure Bullshit!
Smart people! If I had a date I was going to be fired, I would take off and use any paid leave or sick time I had coming between now and then too! Give them a taste of whats coming!
Is the National Guard going to play airline worker like they played hospital staff, too? 😆
When so many qualified people were just fired or are going to be fired for not acquiescing to a screamingly-obvious lie and a despicably-dangerous jab?
This could actually be the play - Get the public used to seeing citizen roles being performed by NG. Slippery slope to normalizing seeing the NG around town, being caretakers, firemen, then it’s not too far to place them in LEO roles. Boom, NG is knocking on doors verifying vax status.
With no disrespect to anyone in the National Guard, my point was pretty clearly in its intent to highlight that NG sure-as-sht aren’t a stream of fantasy Walter Mittys who can fill in for any occupation that the Deep State mass-fires over this beyond-absurd jab.
Amazing thing these patriots are doing. I work for a very liberal tech company (which happens to be building the app for vax checking control and sat on the board in DC to to encourage these mandates) which has given us until the 29th of November to be vaccinated. Our numbers are very low for those of us who won’t comply. We are cheering on our brothers and sisters at southwest since we likely won’t have the same outcome. But it’s so encouraging to see this could work for somebody else.

Make it painful. Only stop when THEY stop.
They are the first responders when people have heart attacks and strokes at home.
Imagine how much they, collectively, hate this injection and what it has done.

Grotesque insanity.

Oh, I’m aware.
With no disrespect to anyone in the National Guard, my point was pretty clearly in its intent to highlight that NG sure-as-sht aren’t a stream of fantasy Walter Mittys who can fill in for any occupation that the Deep State mass-fires over this beyond-absurd jab.
I have a son in the National Guard. He quit.
Hit them where it hurts...
Keep it up destroy the fucking company.
Go Go Go Southwest employees. Fuck the company.

My friend's husband works there as a pilot. No way in hell he'll get it, and they've been working him crazy long hours last time I talked to her.
Hold your ground people don't take the shot.
I don’t know what SWA management is thinking. Or simply not bothering to think
Because pilots are a dime a dozen? require no training? no experience and no special physical shape (like size, eye sight); right?
Just the sort of professional you can bully with impunity, right?
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.
Keep poking the bear, idiots
Way to shake down your employer guys & gals! 👏🤣
Oh, to be a fly on the wall at the next stockholder's meeting...
Gosh, I wonder why the CEO and the corporate board aren’t able to make decisions that protect the company?
All from an airline that used to throw booze at it's customers as an approved marketing ploy. Where's that kind of leadership now?
After I heard about this, I also vowed never to fly Southwest again. Clearly Southwest is winning.
More taxpayer money going to bailouts
