There is a massive pushback all acr9oss the country against the vaccination mandate. Woke CEOs and mayors are finding out they were dreaming when they thought they could force everyone to get jabbed with an experimental drug. Southwest Airlines were planning on putting unvaccinated pilots on unpaid leave. The problem was the pilots refused to be controlled and be forced to take a drug that could kill or cripple them and whose benefits are questionable.
Japan never locked down. They went for herd immunity. Today their COVID numbers have collapsed and their economy is strong. Joe Biden had better rethink his vaccination mandate because it will destroy the Democratic party. Think about this. What group has the most people who are refusing the vaccine? Doctors and nurses. Now, I can look up a bull’s ass to check out a t-bone steak, but I’d rather take the butcher’s word for it. (From Tommy Boy)
The pilots sued and part of the court filing included:
“The new vaccine mandate unlawfully imposes new conditions of employment and the new policy threatens termination of any pilot not fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021. Southwest Airlines’ additional new and unilateral modification of the parties’ collective bargaining agreement is in clear violation of the RLA.”
This photo was just sent to me of a grounded Southwest plane flying a Gadsden flag out of the cockpit. The Hero Pilots at Southwest and other Airlines deserve our support. True patriots worthy of the American Freedom Fighter tradition.

CNBC reported:
Southwest Airlines has scrapped a plan to put unvaccinated employees who have applied for but haven’t received a religious or medical exemption on unpaid leave starting by a federal deadline in December.
Southwest’s senior vice president of operations and hospitality, Steve Goldberg, and Julie Weber, vice president and chief people officer, wrote to staff on Friday that if employees’ requests for an exemption haven’t been approved by Dec. 8, they could continue to work while following mask and distancing guidelines until the request has been reviewed.
The company is giving employees until Nov. 24 to finish their vaccinations or apply for an exemption. It will continue paying them while the company reviews their requests, and said it will allow those who are rejected to continue working “as we coordinate with them on meeting the requirements (vaccine or valid accommodation).”
“This is a change from what was previously communicated. Initially, we communicated that these Employees would be put on unpaid leave and that is no longer the case,” they wrote in the note, which was reviewed by CNBC.
Southwest confirmed the policy change, which comes just weeks before the deadline.
