October 9, 2021- "Southwest Airlines cancelled thousands of flights over the weekend, citing air traffic control issues and “disruptive weather.”
"“That sounds like baloney to me,” B.J. Romero told Fox 13. “The weather is fine in all connecting areas, there’s no bad weather. There’s got to be something behind the scenes they’re not telling us.”
"Reports on social media are claiming the mass flight cancellations were due to air traffic controllers walking out en masse to protest the vaccine mandate, rumors confirmed by local news affiliates.
“Southwest is trying to cover up over 800 flights being cancelled today, including my connecting flight home from Chicago. They are officially claiming ATC issues and inclement weather, while it is sunny throughout the north east,” one user claimed on Saturday."
“The truth is that pilots are on strike due to vaccine mandates placed by Southwest requiring pilots to be vaccinated or risk being fired.”
“Because Southwest refused to hear the pilots’ concerns thousands of passengers found out last minute that their flight would be canceled and were given a rescheduled flight in 2 days. Because they claimed ATC issues, they refuse to refund anything or comp hotel rooms for passengers.”
"Another user claimed an insider revealed that air traffic controllers at the Jackson International Airport walked out over the vaccine mandates, but a “total news blackout” is preventing the story from surfacing."
“Jacksonville center ATC controllers walked out last night over the vaccine mandate,” the insider said. “Shut the whole thing down. Total disaster for us and other airlines. Total news blackout, be sure to spread the word.”
"It’s not just the air traffic controllers who are reportedly furious over the vaccine mandate. The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, which represents about 9,000 pilots, asked a court on Friday to temporarily block the airline from implementing its vaccine mandate until an existing lawsuit over oppressive coronavirus policies is resolved."
