The union says there's no strike, the airline says there's no strike, no other airlines experienced similar failures despite similar mandates, and there's an alternative explanation that fits all of the available the evidence (and there's a lot of public evidence since these are domestic commercial flights). Additionally, people who want to stir up FUD about vaccine mandates have an incentive to lie.
So, one possibility is that there's a fast conspiracy that involves NOAA, the FAA, Miami airport admin, air traffic controllers, Southwest, the pilot's union, etc.
The other possibility a few conservative commentators are talking out of their ass.
Sorry... this one just isn't that hard.
- kfprt 5y agoYou're just misinformed and wrong. The union and airline say there's no strike or sick out (job action) because strikes and job actions are illegal under the Federal Railway Labor act. They are unsurprisingly denying doing anything illegal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Mediation_Board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Mediation_Board Your Pilot Career and Scope Clauses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XYpZg0SPCE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XYpZg0SPCE

- ed25519FUUU 5y agoAgree, but why hasn't anyone asked the pilots?
- zenithd 5y agoThe pilot's union is on the list I gave. Aside from the union: because Southwest employs 8,500 pilots and they're not exactly all on linkedin or something.
