Southwest Airlines has been forced to cancel over 1,800 flights in two days as employees stage a “sickout” over the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. No one is admitting it was a “sickout” that caused the cancellations, however. Blame is being put literally everywhere else.
Thousands of passengers who booked Southwest Airlines flights for weekend travel have been left stranded in United States airports after the airline canceled flights amid reports of a protest against the vaccine mandate, according to a report by RT. The mainstream media, the ruling class, and those companies who have already made it their mission to exact tyranny upon their employees do not want the general public to know that people are refusing this shot in droves.
Southwest Airline originally tried to blame it on “disruptive weather” according to the tweet below:
ATC issues and disruptive weather have resulted in a high volume of cancellations throughout the weekend while we work to recover our operation. We appreciate your patience as we accommodate affected Customers, and Customer Service wait times are longer than usual. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/o1scQJ5lLb

However, the situation appeared to have only worsened on Sunday, with the Southwest account on Twitter being inundated by complaints from disgruntled passengers claiming that flights had been canceled out of the blue and that the airline’s employees were nowhere to be seen. “Flight canceled out of nowhere and now NO ONE is seen at the front desks to assist customers,” actor Kevin Michael Martin complained.

Southwest continued to try to tell passengers that it was the weather to blame. However, many sources who were citing “airline sources” have reported that air traffic controllers were staging a mass “sickout” or walkout at the federal air traffic control center in Hilliard, Florida over mandatory vaccinations. The reported protest caused a “ripple effect” paralyzing SouthWest operations, Leland Vittert, national correspondent for NewsNation, reported on Twitter, according to a report by RT.

Is Southwest Airlines lying about “weather cancellations” when its pilots might actually be unofficially striking? https://t.co/pti4m3UBAZ

But the FAA and Southwest doubled down blaming everything but the “sickout” protest. Responding to the rumors of a mass walkout on Sunday afternoon, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) dismissed the report, insisting that “no FAA air traffic staffing shortages have been reported since Friday.” “Flight delays and cancellations occurred for a few hours Friday afternoon due to widespread severe weather, military training, and limited staffing in one area of the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center,” the agency said.
A released email says the staffing shortages were due to already approved leave and people required to stay home after getting the COVID-19 shot to monitor for side effects.

Southwest Airlines became one of the last major US air carriers to introduce a vaccine mandate for its employees last Monday after the company was reportedly pressured by White House coronavirus adviser Jeffrey Zients to comply with President Joe Biden’s vaccination order. Some 56,000 SouthWest employees have until December 8 to get vaccinated if they want to keep their jobs.
Will we see a massive cancelation of flights right before Christmas as people refuse to work for companies mandating what goes into their bodies? Here’s hoping. Does anyone know anything about the “sickout”? We have mainstream media and Southwest’s official narrative, but what’s the truth? Are they hiding the fact that this is what air travel will look like in the near future if companies actually go through with these tyrannical mandates?

Mandatory staffing rules would not have allowed leave and/or approval for clot-shot if it required time off to ‘recuperate’. They would have staggered the dates for employees to get vaxxed.
Yeah, “disruptive weather”
I think we all know that the only “disruptive weather”
occurring are the winds of change blowing in the
evil faces of these tyrants as
more and more people realize that conjob 19 was just the pretense for
their ultimate enslavement
and “vaccine” agenda.
Amtrak is getting on the bandwagon too. Shut er down! When will the retard public say enough? Going to be an interesting winter for sure!
As far as you asking is this
the truth – maybe not.
A couple of excerpts from
an article on this:
One journalist speculates that the announcement of vaccine mandates is partly to blame, and the weather radar shows there were no issues that day.
Other airlines canceled relatively few flights. Southwest did not comment on the disparity.

I may be wrong but I sense this whole covid business is beginning to run out of steam. People are waking up, they’re listening to alternative news and information sources, starting to get involved like at school board meetings and protests, and saying f*ck wearing a mask. The one thing every citizen must never forget is there is power in numbers. If the majority of citizens just ignore these gov’t control freaks (otherwise know as officialdom) there is little they can do.
This covid scare may be placed on the back burner but it won’t be going away. H.L. Mencken said “The whole aim of politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary”. I promise you there are more hobgoblins waiting in the wings right now to frighten citizens. The State will soon have to direct society’s attention to another issue. Gov’t policy is directly and fully responsible for the soon to occur energy crisis and collapse of supply chains, it will have to divert our attention from these with something like another war, etc. Gov’t always and only makes everything worse.
@Bill, great points. You are
so right. Recently read that
quote somewhere and it rings so true – especially now. We are pretty much assured that the distractions will continue. There will also be more scare tactics whether real or imaginary. Always enjoy
reading your posts. Keep
em’ coming.

Guess what travels on passenger aircraft, besides passengers? Mail and freight. Oops! All airlines are going to get the same thing. Freedom from medical tyranny, now!
Yet another bullshit holiday. Columbus didn’t discover America. Why are their so many BS holidays based on lies?
Public School.
If the idiots running the airline continue to try & crush the employees, my family will buy our 8 flights per year at airlines that believe in freedom. Management team – the ball is in your court.
I always boycott companies that do commie stuff. I never shop at walmart, amazon, hanes, sara lee, levis, social media, BOA, Wells Fargo, and a plethora of others. If the knuckledragging turds in this world would do the same things actually WOULD CHANGE. Money talks, it’s all they understand.
I’m with you 100%. When I was a kid (long time ago) we would have gas-price wars. With 4 gas stations at an intersection, the higher priced, even by 1 cent, station could NOT sell any gas. Citizens today do NOT pay attention.
I wonder what makes the people at Southwest different from everyone else that are just going along with the vax mandates?
Since when has America become a dictatorship?
Since Clinton.
That’s when it all got started.
