Sounds like excuse making now. You should have stood with your pilots.

Now's the chance to say we won't be mandating anything.

“Forced his hand” how? He should & still could stand up for SW personnel and just say “no” to Brandon’s mandates.

Biden forced his hand with just a speech? Isn’t there still no actual written executive order yet, only a speech?

There were signs that Southwest’s operations were improving Tuesday, as 87 flights, or just 2% of its schedule, were canceled. Its shares were up about 1%.

Lol the lefties responding to that tweet are pulling every excuse and dodge under the sun

"It's not mandated yet" is like the hangman telling the man on death row not to worry because he's still on the stool.

Come on mods. Repeat of yesterday. This thread has virtually nothing to do with Covid.
This is a governmental/political thread. ridiculous. Is about an airline standing up against big government. Why the fuck does it get dumped into the covid forum?
This is getting ridiculous.

There's only a few places Biden would force his hand - and they're not adult.

Such a bizarre thread...

OP says one thing, but posts a link saying the exact opposite.

The forum cheers and posts memes.

OP posts another article saying the opposite of thread title.

More memes, more cheers.

And? It does not say he blamed him or the mandates for the flight cancellations.

ETA - that article also specifically has the CEO denying it's related.

Why would he even bring it up that he don't agree with the mandates if they weren't related? You've got actual employees saying that's the reason, then the CEO saying he didn't want to do the mandates.

Can't read between the lines?

What weather?


That's about as damning as it gets for someone who really doesn't want to piss off the federal govt money.


Are you expecting a let's go Brandon out of him?

I saw an interview today where he blamed Biden.

He also said something interesting:  No one will lose their job for not getting the shot.  That's a huge 180.

Sorry, no. He brought it up because he was asked about it on live TV.


We've all been reading between the lines since this weekend. That is nothing new. This thread claimed the CEO "Blamed Biden for the cancellations" which would be a very big deal. That is patently false. That did not happen, and he in fact said the opposite. As did the head of the SW Pilots association, which OP also linked.

The thread title is literally fake news - on the same scale as what we spend so much time bitching about in the MSM.

Hmm, actually READING the linked story, he specifically said that’s NOT what happened last weekend.
