Southwest Airlines Cancels Thousands of Flights

[Jack]

Southwest: We’re canceling flights because of a lie we can’t think of right now!

[erichrick]

What happens when the truckers don't deliver food to the cities? It's a fair question.😱

[sallygomez]

I'm sure it has nothing to do with mgmt mandating covid shots for employees🙄🙄

[msbao]

It's a staff shortage, that's what happens when you force a mandate on workers. This is just the

[ellzgoespro]

Southwest: "Uh, yeah, it was weather and ATC's fault!"
Weather: "Um, what?!"
ATC: "Nice try buddy!"
Southwest: "Okay, you caught us lying. So here's another lie!"

[normansilver]

Quietly being whispered that the pilots don't like the Vaccine mandate.

[TrainerAQ]

Employees are walking out. After sacrificing themselves now they are being forced into taking a shot which could be harmful or be fired. They have banded together and walked out at the same time. Good luck Southwest.

[komfyk]

Stand your ground, pilots! Give these airlines a taste of their own medicine.

[Joshua-Samarita]

I love that the "no jab, no job" backfired. 😂😂

[jameslewis]

That's the way to do it. Sounds like somebody is lying.

[donnaboucher]

Liars. There was a walkout because of the mandates.

[tr]

Its a disgrace that they blamed others. When your the only airline with this problem its not the FAAs fault or the weather, its your management.

[JamesMorse]

Sounds like Southwests staff, didn’t like the vaccine mandate, and walked off the job…

[somguy]

Nice "journalism" there NBC
Everybody knows it's b/c of the walkout over the mandates

[rwusa]

Vax mandates backfired again. LMAO. Let's go Brandon!

[gretafortenberry]

These has happened because Pilots and Stewarts are quitting instead of going by the mandates. The same way United employees did.
Then zunited could say they have 99.9% cooperation from their employees. But they forgot to mention the 25%+ who had quit refusing the mandate.
Love how these companies and the Government make the numbers to their advantage instead of telling the truth.

[TheRunAndGun]

So Southwest isn’t going to say what the problem is. Got it.🙄

[mostlypeacefulslav]

Lying through your teeth, when any reasonably intelligent human being, can get the truth, with 5 seconds of effort.

[snappysue]

The weather in Tampa Florida was beautiful today. Let the pilots do their thing. Drop the forced vac's !!

[fireisfire]

Imagine if when vaccine mandates are pushed onto truckers and there's mass walkouts and resignations.
