I guess I'm just looking for these tik tok videos of supposed employees talking about it. This has been yet another blown up situation on our side. Everybody is lying. Which is not good for us true patriots digging for the truth. And yes we did talk to a pilot, he was vague but he def said no...
As I understand the situation, it is not lawful for pilots to go on strike at this point in the process, so no pilot is going to state out loud that there is a walkout. However, pilots can use sick leave and vacation time to accomplish the same thing, and this seems to be what is happening. (This is similar to what police officers do when they develop the 'blue flu.')
From lawyers.com: Statutes Prohibiting Strikes in Certain Industries
"Some state and federal laws either bar workers in certain industries from striking, or significantly limit their right to go on strike. The Railway Labor Act (RLA), for example, applies to workers in the railroad and airline industries. Congress first passed this law in 1926, and has amended it several times. The statute makes a distinction between “major” disputes, which may arise while negotiating a CBA; and “minor” disputes, which involve disagreements about existing CBAs. Workers may go on strike because of a major dispute, but only after they have gone through a lengthy process of negotiation and mediation with management. For minor disputes, workers must use mediation procedures established by the statute. Federal courts have authority to stop a union from striking, which essentially orders the workers to go back to work."
So when the uncle pilot says that "it was not a walkout about mandates, yet" he is stating that the conditions for an actual walkout have not yet been met.... However, a 'blue flu' sort of situation seems most definitely to be underway at Southwest.
This would also fall into what I was reading about what happened. [Pilots] COULD have been sitting in the planes waiting for the ATC to give them the go ahead. Without that, they just wait with a plane full of people, sitting. They might have gotten "sick" of that and gone home.
This is def the thing I was thinking it could have been. It just really got me to thinking a out the tik tok videos people have been talking about and I've seen no such thing. Interesting. Great response !
It sounds like your buddies friends brothers nephew, is a PILOT. The pilots didn't "call in sick". The Air Traffic Controllers did. The Pilots are next. Much more cancellations of flights when that happens... I could be wrong, but I have never heard of the pilots leaving, just the directors of the planes.
His uncle is a pilot. He asked if the weekend debacle was about the mandates. He said no, not yet.. so I don't doubt it's coming. But I am still in search of hard proof what this weekend was about. Do you have any ?
I don't have proof. From what I have seen and read, it would be 3-10 humans who didn't show up to work over a weekend. The airport couldnt manage the planes leaving with such low staff and the ones landing took priority. Everything else was just grounded until further notice. It seems difficult to me to prove, that a few incredibly important people, all called in sick on the same weekend. The effect would be massive, even on a small company.
How should I know? You talked to an employee personally.
