The pilot emailed following the first Southwest post today (and provided his SWA ID to prove his identity). He asked that I paraphrase the email.
Essentially, the union cannot organize or even acknowledge the sickout, because doing so would make it an illegal job action. Years ago, Southwest and its pilots had a rough negotiation, and the union would not even let the pilots internally discuss the possibility of working-to-rule (which would have slowed Southwest to a crawl).
But at the moment the pilots don’t even have to talk to each other about what they’re doing. The anger internally - not just among pilots but other Southwest workers - is enormous. The tough prior negotiations notwithstanding, Southwest has a history of decent labor relations, and workers believe the company should stand up for them against the mandate. Telling pilots in particular to comply or face termination has backfired.
—
Meanwhile, Southwest has more flexibility than it has acknowledged. Federal contracts represent about 3 percent of its revenue, but even the Biden administration CANNOT alter existing contracts (please note, I have not checked this, though it seems reasonable); Southwest is only at risk of losing future contracts.
This pilot believes that the fact that the airlines received $25 billion in no-strings-attached cash for “payroll support” last year (as well another $25 billion in loans) has made them particularly reluctant to stand up to the Biden administration. Southwest’s CEO, Gary Kelly, may be in an especially tough spot since he is the head of the airline lobbying group.
—
Finally: This pilot says he loves Southwest and finds the crisis painful but feels that if this is the only way Americans can stand up to these mandates, then let the chips fall.
Until this walkout the Covid mania felt like it was on a runaway train toward dictatorship. Mandates to work, travel, shop, etc. Mandates for kids. It felt inevitable.
What you and your colleagues are doing has given me much needed hope.
From one former Airman to another, I cannot thank you enough. And if you were Navy then that’s okay too :)
I can tell you, as a retired flight attendant, I have worked a few "work to rule' slow downs, they ARE effective. A glass (when we used to have glass) breaks in the galley...can't just clean it up at the gate. No, no, rug has be changed out, maintenance has to come, someone has to sign-off logbook, flight is delayed, crew goes illegal, etc,,, this is how it works. You are following the strictest interpretation of the FAA rules. I am beyond THRILLED to see these pilots do this. Selfishly, I don't want to fly with a blood clotting pilot. Sudafed used to be one of the few "allowed" meds- now a shot with UNKOWN substances and short/long term effects are perfectly fine? Hard pass. Even though I worked for a competing airline and still have flight benefits, I will gladly join their picket line if they strike. And I am not at all pro-union. Bodily autonomy HAS to be the red line.
I for one really appreciate you doing so!!! And stand with you. I would much prefer to have a medical professional that is unvaccinated, who won't fall over dead from the jab while taking care of people, (possibly even during surgery)
Funny thing is you’re not a medical professional if you’re such an idiot not to get a vaccination. You really freak out people thinking you should be paid when you’re likely going to be the cause of disease. Disgusting human being you are to not understand that.
So, the doctors and nurses who were exposed all last year taking care of the worst of the worst when there were no vaccines, risking their lives now can't be trusted around patients unless they get a shot that won't keep them from getting covid and won't keep them from transmitting it? "Full of disease on purpose"?? You're cracked.
You don’t remember when everyone was desperate for a solution when Covid first hit? These medical professionals are not professionals. They’re whack jobs to know get a vaccination.
Zade, terminated RN here that was good enough to take care of Covid patients right after surgery, help out on the Covid floor, and help out in the ER—no jab required. Apparently MANY people are unaware that the so called “vaccinated” are getting Covid AND spreading Covid. They should just run out and get their boosters year after year after year…🤯😵💫.
VDDAWG. Idiot. Where do I start. Get the jab, get Covid. The alleged vaccine does NOT keep you from spreading Covid, getting Covid. You are a dumbass if you believe it does. Quick question moron. If Covid is so deadly(99.7%survival rate) why are the FDA, CDC, 600,000 postal workers, members of Congress and their staff, 40-60% of the folks entering our country illegally ALL exempt from the vaccine??? You’re pissed at us when you should be pissed at yourself for being such a dumb motherfucker and being duped into believing all the lies. How does it feel SUCKER? You caved and allowed yourself to be infected with a useless, dangerous, unknown toxin. The wheels are falling off and shortly, payback is coming. Better find somewhere to hide dipshit
Your emergency authorized vaccine is killing and has killed tens of thousands of people and the numbers are rising daily. The experimental vaccine impairs and degrades your immune system over time. The number of vaccinated people filling the hospitals at this time is greater than the unvaccinated. You are in fact a guinea pig in an out of control laboratory experiment. We have yet to see the long term effects of how this experimental vaccine will afflict people with irreversible damage. Natural immunity offers far greater protection against any future mutations of the virus. In the mean time, for those of us that have lost our parents to experimental vaccine coercion, you can go pound sand.
So your unwilling to receive Heath services from someone because you believe that they may pose some risk to you? Sounds like you have a very terminal case of narcissism compounded by a potentially fatale dose of stupidity
Are you really so brainwashed and ignorant that you believe in this thing that is not a vaccine that is killing people at a pace 3000 times faster than all the real vaccines together? This virus AND the “vaccine” are both bioweapons. What is most frightening is the level of trust in 1/2 the population in the face of profound ignorance in that same 50%.
VDDAWG. Idiot. Where do I start. Get the jab, get Covid. The alleged vaccine does NOT keep you from spreading Covid, getting Covid. You are a dumbass if you believe it does. Quick question moron.

You were conditioned to believe that, but ago ahead roll the dice, it’s your life on the line not mine! One less person who can’t think for yourself is better for the free world!
Haha Are you Russian or Chinese trying to Kill Americans? You are communist, you want Americans to die of Covid. That’s why you don’t want anybody to use common sense to take the vaccination. Millions and millions of people have been vaccinated. For you to say don’t do it says you are trying to destroy the USA. Go home to your own country! We are Americans were not stupid.
You're what? Let me guess. 24, unemployed, sleeping in mom's basement, sore at the world because your weekly booster shots haven't landed you a girlfriend.
Let me guess, you masturbate too much and believe there are children kidnapped in the basement of a pizza place in DC. Grow up. You come across as an idiotic loser. You really believe this crap?
40 years as an airline pilot, instructor and check airman, Director of Operations, Chief Pilot, qualified to fly 9 different airliners from Douglas, British Aerospace, Boeing and Airbus
Nobody wants a pandemic. But for you to really believe that there’s something wrong with the vaccination says that you are either drinking too much, doing way too many drugs where you hit your head as a child and have never recovered.
We kill millions of babies a yr! And no one hardly says a word about that. And your worried about 700,000 people . it’s more like 100,000 but CDC counts people that have Covid but die from other problems. Not to mention the flu kills 60,000 to 100,000 every yr and no one Is concerned about that. So Excuse me. If I don’t find this pandemic to be all that serious!
Partly. Partly because flying one of these machines is a two person job. Especially in a high stress situation--precisely when the guy in the left seat strokes out.
I guess with covid drama no one is worried anymore about pilots' drinking on layovers and other problems. My Dad was a United Captain, one of my brothers, now dead of ALS, an American Captain. My Dad was a WWII Marine with true PTSD and I know he wasn't always careful about the bottle to throttle rule. And my poor brother was flying, without realizing it, with the early onset of the dementia that accompanies half of all ALS patients. There's a lot more concerning things to me than this damned Chinese plague when it comes to airline safety. I think we've all lost our minds.
I am only a lowly Private Pilot, albeit with a lot of hours, IFR, night, etc. My father was a WWII navigator, killed. Not his fault. Stepfather WWII flight engineer. He had two (three?) brothers WWII pilots. Grandfather was a pilot, owned a small airfield. Brother was Coast Guard helicopter search and rescue, after CG retirement a United pilot. Had a great uncle that designed and built an aircraft circa 1910--his aircraft was used to teach aeronautics by an Ohio university in that era. Another uncle that was a pilot, owned his own aircraft, before spending 32 months in the Pacific with the USMC. College roommate retired from USAIR. I hope his fondness for Coors abated.
Speaking from personal experience, flying actual IMC is a work load that is very marginal for one pilot. IFR in the LA airspace is really more than one person should be handling. Been there, done that. Too many times. Getting kicked around, constant vector changes, sky full of aluminum. It really is a two person job. Half an hour and my brain would be turning to mush.
I am not commercially rated, but I know that most transport aircraft require two pilots for work load reasons. There is a Citation model that can be flown single pilot (have a little time as right seat in one), but I doubt it extends to carrying paying passengers.
I agree that there are a lot of problems with pilots that are flying and shouldn't be. But, why should we add any more problems?
I wholly support pilots that don't want to be take on any further risks. They--as are the vast majority--are the ones we want in the cockpit.
Actually, planes today are mostly computerized & somewhat autonomous from pilots. They could be flown entirely as "drones" but a computer link, rather than human beings in the pilot's seat, is disconcerting to the passengers. Much like the Joe Dimentia "presidency", pilots are mostly a charade in today's commercial airlines world! BTW, many of today's "pilots" have zero real experience, other than graduating from an aviation school like Embry Riddle in Prescott, Az, & they become "proficient" in a simulator, not a real airplane cockpit.
And tugs should ALWAYS wait for the required safe distance before passing behind a taxiing aircraft. And cans should be carefully loaded, one weight-checked bag at a time. And... :-)
I feel exactly the same ,no more flying for me .This is just few months into vaxx ,I hope and pray my feelings are wrong bc it might get much worse few months from now.
The ingredients of the vaccination are well know. It’s a lie to say otherwise. Maybe YOU don’t know the ingredients, but they have been known and published for months.
You’re such a wench. You’re so disgusting full of disease, and with limited thinking capacity. How do you live with yourself you must be so embarrassed
100% this. I’m just a stay-at-home-mom, looking at the scary future for my 3 year old, unclear how to teach him what “normal life” used to be. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A thousand times over. Stay strong, and know that so many of us who lack meaningful voices are pulling and praying for you.
Don’t call yourself “just” a stay-at-home mom. To me, that’s the most important job in the world! Be proud! It’s the best thing you can do for your family.
Try to gather a group of parents that r all willing to teach a group and take turns having the children at home…I’m a retired teacher and would be willing to volunteer my time to help. We need to get the children out of the schools until the school boards r willing to hear what the parents want for their children instead of the tyrannical government. If more parents would take their kids out of schools the school boards would flip out and listen to these kids parents
My daughter is also a stay-at-home mom of a 3 yr old, with another due in Nov., scared to death of the vaxx mandate coming soon for young children here in Calif.
It will never happen. Like the fake, false and phony “POTUS” and his administration, Newsom is just another tyrannical sociopath who likes to exercise his narcissism by making false claims. We have a Constitution. We have a Bill of Rights. A wannabe “mandate” is NOT A LAW. More importantly, We have God-given freedoms and autonomy and We must never bow down and comply. 🙏🏼✝️🇺🇸
It is happening. People better wake up. They are taking away all our freedoms in the name of a virus that is a little more serious than a flu. I was kicked out of a venue this wknd because someone who worked there did not like my attitude and felt I wasn’t complying enough with the mask. She could see I was going to be a problem so that was it. She called the bid security cop over and escorted me and my hubby out of the building after we just purchased 2 drinks. Tossed them in the garbage and left. I’m a respectable citizen. Payed taxes whole life. Never I. Prison. Never I. Trouble. Law abiding citizen. And just like that some women can tell me my ticket is worth nothing. Get out. . I don’t like you. Everyone in that bldg is vaccinated and yet forced to mask up for 2 hours while watching g a concert. Oh but u can take the mask down for a sip of wine but be sure to,pull it right back up cause that virus could float away and get the people In there who are all fully vaxxed. Is any of it making any sense yet? Is it really about a health concern?.. looks more like a control issue and some people totally get off on it!,btw. Stay away from the uptown theater in Napa Ca. Funny at the wineries. No masks at all. Inside or out. Weird how this virus works. I think sophisticated people who are vaccinated won’t get the virus. Right? Obama’s party at Martha’s Vineyard. The Grammys. Nanci Pelosi at at vineyard in Napa for the social elite.
I keep calm by reminding myself that there are and always have been stupid people. People who think masks do anything are stupid. Literally IQ 85 tops. You can't fix it.
I know, that virus is so strange…stays behind the plexiglass, stays at your dinner table when you’re eating, does not enter the air at all when you open your mouth to put food in or take a drink, stays in your paper non N95 mask, such a smart, smart virus 🤯😵💫. And did I forget to mention when your driving alone with your mask on—you are triple safe!
FOOLS, IDIOTS…keep your head in the sand, that’s the safest place for you!
One of my sisters vaccinated all of her girls down to the age of 13. I'm heartsick over it. Unjustified trust in drugs peddled by US government on behalf of Pfizer and Moderna. And that's Maryland where we don't have that jackal Newsom, just the chump Larry Hogan.
Sorry to hear, I’m afraid to ask my idiot daughter if she had my 5 and 7 years old grandchildren vaxxxed. We send her info but she gets mad at us and says she wants to do her own research.
I’m so sorry to hear that. Our children are healthy. The flu has been killing them for years and yet no one batted an eye. Now we have what I call the “adult flu” (although it’s manmade) and these evil tyrants want to stop the world and kill us all. Yes, CommieNewScum is a total piece of shit. As evil as they come, like auntie PigLosi. 😡 I’ll be back in my native Texas soon… God bless you and yours, Patriot. 🙏🏼✝️♥️🇺🇸
I went through this when my son was younger. He never contracted chicken pox. I did not want him to get then vaccine. I was fortunate enough to have a doctor that listened to me. He signed a waver every year for us. And I know there are many out there that say I am foolish but again it was my choice for my son. And when he turned 18 it was his choice whether he wanted to get it. Ask your doctor, hopefully the will understand your view on the Covid19 vaccinations for young children.

You seem like a seriously mentally ill person. This is absolutely bull crap. This was written by a Russian or Chinese communist trying to make Americans literally sick as heck. Shame on you
Courage is contagious. What the brave heroes at SWest and the nurses and doctors did has given my husband and his coworkers the courage to speak up. Thank you to all!
You having such an ugly face that you need to use a dog says that you are brave! Lol. Courage? How about the courage to keep your mouth shut because you’re demonstrating how much of an idiot you are.
Dear Anonymous SW Pilot:
Until this walkout the Covid mania felt like it was on a runaway train toward dictatorship. Mandates to work, travel, shop, etc. Mandates for kids. It felt inevitable.

Well said. I too am thrilled to finally see a pushback. These mandates are immoral.
Nurses and other medical professionals like myself have been pushing back from the beginning, glad to finally see others stand up!
I for one really appreciate you doing so!!! And stand with you. I would much prefer to have a medical professional that is unvaccinated, who won't fall over dead from the jab while taking care of people, (possibly even during surgery)
For what it’s worth, After the 💉came out, a surgeon at the hospital had a heart attack during surgery.
And yet hospital officials continue to mandate them & kill off more of their staff. How can they not see what is happening in their own hospitals!!!!
Wow, never heard of that one…but why would we?! They’re safe and effective 🤣🤣🤣
Oh and the toxicology report said it was from mRNA? Yea right.
Funny thing is you’re not a medical professional if you’re such an idiot not to get a vaccination. You really freak out people thinking you should be paid when you’re likely going to be the cause of disease. Disgusting human being you are to not understand that.
I think you’re disgusting if you’re going to be full of disease on purpose, not be vaccinated only to kill unsuspecting patients.
So, the doctors and nurses who were exposed all last year taking care of the worst of the worst when there were no vaccines, risking their lives now can't be trusted around patients unless they get a shot that won't keep them from getting covid and won't keep them from transmitting it?

The beauty is I don’t care what you think VDDAWG!
Let me give you a hug! You need one. I’m not vaxxed btw.

Comments ^ above ~could~ certainly be from adversaries purposely & operationally driving a wedge. Be cognizant (in general) to this 4th gen warfare.
You were conditioned to believe that, but ago ahead roll the dice, it’s your life on the line not mine! One less person who can’t think for yourself is better for the free world!
You have not read anything of truth ! We need unvaxed healthcare drs and nurses and all flight crews !! PERIOD !!
If you don’t want it it’s your choice , PERIOD !!
Read , don’t listen to TV !
Haha Are you Russian or Chinese trying to Kill Americans? You are communist, you want Americans to die of Covid. That’s why you don’t want anybody to use common sense to take the vaccination. Millions and millions of people have been vaccinated. For you to say don’t do it says you are trying to destroy the USA. Go home to your own country! We are Americans were not stupid.
I think you will find that this is a troll, don't waste your breath. you aren't arguing with an actual person. Hello Brigade 77 et al
Not wanting to fly with a pilot who may die or pass out due to blood clots is not selfish.
So that would argue against vaxxed pilots since the vaccines are doing a great job of killing men and women in just that way.
Nut job
You're what? Let me guess. 24, unemployed, sleeping in mom's basement, sore at the world because your weekly booster shots haven't landed you a girlfriend.
Let me guess, you masturbate too much and believe there are children kidnapped in the basement of a pizza place in DC. Grow up. You come across as an idiotic loser. You really believe this crap?
Clearly you have, once again ignored the age old dictum of “remaining silent lest you proof them right”
troll
You are the nut job!!
ROFLMAO... Looks like the snowflake drama queen class is out for the day!!
Oh look it is one of those Good Germans we heard about the last time the Nuremberg Code was being violated.
and your pilot/medical bonafides are?......
40 years as an airline pilot, instructor and check airman, Director of Operations, Chief Pilot, qualified to fly 9 different airliners from Douglas, British Aerospace, Boeing and Airbus
And a moral compass that's missing a needle.
So, as a pilot, you don't have any concerns about the not-uncommon side effect of clotting disorders for a working pilot? I am genuinely curious.
You don't get a qualification to fly an airliner, you're endorsed. Fake pilot you are.
Oh, so your former management. Math adds up now.
You spelled AEROFLOT wrong.
forget about pilots dropping dead in the sky for a moment; you're ok with SW pilots being forced to take this shot or lose their job?
Nobody wants a pandemic. But for you to really believe that there’s something wrong with the vaccination says that you are either drinking too much, doing way too many drugs where you hit your head as a child and have never recovered.

Oh, but there are some who do desperately need the pandemic to roll forward with their agenda. Sleeping at the wheel troll?
Not cool, bot. Go away.
Oh, and that's why there are copilots. In case something happens to the Captain.
Partly. Partly because flying one of these machines is a two person job. Especially in a high stress situation--precisely when the guy in the left seat strokes out.

The guy at the end of the bar has entered the chat 🙄 obviously you’re not a pilot. We fly the planes.
You sir are clueless and certainly are not a pilot. Have a few more drinks!
You are a complete moron. SWA pilots are the most skilled and experienced in the world when it comes to flying the Boeing 737.
Yeah, like that Air France flight they autopiloted into the Atlantic. Awful pilot training.
Actually... you're wrong.
Oi Vey, bring back Sully!
It’s of great concern for all of us who fly !! I don’t think enough of us know this !!!
So how many pilots have passed out due to a blood clot so far from the vax? I’m sure you have the number already made up in your stupid little mind.
choke on a dick!!!
You first
And tugs should ALWAYS wait for the required safe distance before passing behind a taxiing aircraft. And cans should be carefully loaded, one weight-checked bag at a time. And... :-)
I feel exactly the same ,no more flying for me .This is just few months into vaxx ,I hope and pray my feelings are wrong bc it might get much worse few months from now.
I hope other airlines follow SW lead, stop the mandates!!

Enlighten me.
You’re such a despicable and disgusting human being.
Agreed. SW Pilots and crew are heros!
Lets go Brandon!
You’re such a wench. You’re so disgusting full of disease, and with limited thinking capacity. How do you live with yourself you must be so embarrassed
Lol ;-)
100% this. I’m just a stay-at-home-mom, looking at the scary future for my 3 year old, unclear how to teach him what “normal life” used to be. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A thousand times over. Stay strong, and know that so many of us who lack meaningful voices are pulling and praying for you.
Don’t call yourself “just” a stay-at-home mom. To me, that’s the most important job in the world! Be proud! It’s the best thing you can do for your family.
Homeschooling. There are a million resources online, you can do it, any loving mom can. You have more reason now than any mom ever had.
Ditto!
I am thrilled that young moms are raising conservative minded children. You ARE our hope and future. Bless you.
Amen!!
Stay at home moms are shaping the next generation to a bright and beautiful America. Be proud. Fellow stay at home mom here.
Try to gather a group of parents that r all willing to teach a group and take turns having the children at home…I’m a retired teacher and would be willing to volunteer my time to help.

If more parents would take their kids out of schools the school boards would flip out and listen to these kids parents
Better yet, the school unions might even fail.
My daughter is also a stay-at-home mom of a 3 yr old, with another due in Nov., scared to death of the vaxx mandate coming soon for young children here in Calif.
It will never happen. Like the fake, false and phony “POTUS” and his administration, Newsom is just another tyrannical sociopath who likes to exercise his narcissism by making false claims. We have a Constitution. We have a Bill of Rights. A wannabe “mandate” is NOT A LAW. More importantly, We have God-given freedoms and autonomy and We must never bow down and comply. 🙏🏼✝️🇺🇸
It is happening. People better wake up. They are taking away all our freedoms in the name of a virus that is a little more serious than a flu. I was kicked out of a venue this wknd because someone who worked there did not like my attitude and felt I wasn’t complying enough with the mask. She could see I was going to be a problem so that was it. She called the bid security cop over and escorted me and my hubby out of the building after we just purchased 2 drinks. Tossed them in the garbage and left. I’m a respectable citizen. Payed taxes whole life. Never I. Prison. Never I. Trouble. Law abiding citizen. And just like that some women can tell me my ticket is worth nothing. Get out. . I don’t like you. Everyone in that bldg is vaccinated and yet forced to mask up for 2 hours while watching g a concert. Oh but u can take the mask down for a sip of wine but be sure to,pull it right back up cause that virus could float away and get the people In there who are all fully vaxxed. Is any of it making any sense yet? Is it really about a health concern?.. looks more like a control issue and some people totally get off on it!,btw. Stay away from the uptown theater in Napa Ca. Funny at the wineries. No masks at all. Inside or out. Weird how this virus works. I think sophisticated people who are vaccinated won’t get the virus. Right? Obama’s party at Martha’s Vineyard. The Grammys. Nanci Pelosi at at vineyard in Napa for the social elite.
I keep calm by reminding myself that there are and always have been stupid people. People who think masks do anything are stupid. Literally IQ 85 tops. You can't fix it.
I know, that virus is so strange…stays behind the plexiglass, stays at your dinner table when you’re eating, does not enter the air at all when you open your mouth to put food in or take a drink, stays in your paper non N95 mask, such a smart, smart virus 🤯😵💫. And did I forget to mention when your driving alone with your mask on—you are triple safe!
FOOLS, IDIOTS…keep your head in the sand, that’s the safest place for you!
One of my sisters vaccinated all of her girls down to the age of 13. I'm heartsick over it. Unjustified trust in drugs peddled by US government on behalf of Pfizer and Moderna. And that's Maryland where we don't have that jackal Newsom, just the chump Larry Hogan.
Sorry to hear, I’m afraid to ask my idiot daughter if she had my 5 and 7 years old grandchildren vaxxxed. We send her info but she gets mad at us and says she wants to do her own research.
I’m so sorry to hear that. Our children are healthy. The flu has been killing them for years and yet no one batted an eye. Now we have what I call the “adult flu” (although it’s manmade) and these evil tyrants want to stop the world and kill us all. Yes, CommieNewScum is a total piece of shit. As evil as they come, like auntie PigLosi. 😡 I’ll be back in my native Texas soon… God bless you and yours, Patriot. 🙏🏼✝️♥️🇺🇸
You never ever have to obey the govt. EVER. Learn how to stand up for your rights.
Not if what it's asking is immoral. Like injecting drugs cultured and tested with pieces of murdered babies.
do not submit your child to the jab, keep them home. organize alternate school. stop writing that tax check, if in your mortgage go in arrears!
do not support totalitarian progressives.
it is lexington green time!
Get the hell out while you can, they are coming for your children
I went through this when my son was younger. He never contracted chicken pox. I did not want him to get then vaccine. I was fortunate enough to have a doctor that listened to me. He signed a waver every year for us. And I know there are many out there that say I am foolish but again it was my choice for my son. And when he turned 18 it was his choice whether he wanted to get it. Ask your doctor, hopefully the will understand your view on the Covid19 vaccinations for young children.

don't send him to school then.
You're not 'just a stay at home mom.' You're the glue that is holding this country together!
Thank you for staying at home with your boy. That is the best thing you can do for him and your family.
Gov. Abbott just banned COVID-19 vaccine mandates in Texas. And maybe he just saved America.
Or he may be killing those businesses. Covid isn’t good for business. Dead people don’t buy goods and services
NO to state-sponsored vaxx religion.

Hear hear!!!
You seem like a seriously mentally ill person. This is absolutely bull crap. This was written by a Russian or Chinese communist trying to make Americans literally sick as heck. Shame on you
You're a pretty lame comedian. Is it the VD or the booster shots that's killed your brain?
What part is bull crap?
This idiot pays to troll! He's blithering.
Courage is contagious. What the brave heroes at SWest and the nurses and doctors did has given my husband and his coworkers the courage to speak up. Thank you to all!
You having such an ugly face that you need to use a dog says that you are brave! Lol. Courage? How about the courage to keep your mouth shut because you’re demonstrating how much of an idiot you are.
This was not a walkout. This is a fake comment from a fake pilot. I have a bridge to saw you in San Francisco if you believe this post.
Apparently leaking out....
VAXXED Delta Pilot DIES IN-FLIGHT, Emergency Landing Required
Company in FULL denial mode......
Can you post a link please?
If any of these pilots do lose their job, I will be the first in line at their GoFundMe page. They’re standing up for all of us.
No!! GoFundMe is politicized and anti-liberty. The correct service is GiveSendGo they believe in freedoms.
Well, then I’ll give through GiveSendGo. :)
Thanks for info!
This also impacts other countries! Too so it is such a badass move.
bring them to their knees peacefully.
I'd prefer to hear the sound of shattering patellas.
shame on you kittynana....NOT!!
I aim to please
No! Call Dave Portnoy. He did more for restaurants than anyone else. I wonder if he'll rally to the airline personnel cause.
