Southwest Cancels 1,800 Flights: Speculation Increases About Pilots Striking Over Vaccine Mandates

BREAKING: Southwest Cancels 1,800 Flights, As Speculation Increases About Pilots Striking Over COVID Vax Mandates, VIDEO Shows Huge Crowds Of Passengers Stranded




Southwest Airlines canceled more than 1,800 flights this weekend, leaving many to speculate about pilots staying home to quietly protest COVID jab mandates. In addition, the massive number of flight cancellations are forcing Southwest agents to scramble to find replacement flights for thousands of unhappy customers whose travel plans have been disrupted by the cancelations.


Southwest is blaming bad weather, air traffic control issues, and a staff shortage for the cancelations. However, customers are left questioning the authenticity of the “bad weather” excuse, as reports about great weather with clear skies are coming out of Florida.


“I know this is incredibly difficult for all of you, and our customers are not happy,” Alan Kasher, executive vice president of daily flight operations, told staff in a note on Sunday, which was seen by CNBC.

The airline blamed initial problems on bad weather and an “FAA-imposed air traffic management program.”

Other airlines canceled relatively few flights. Southwest did not comment on the disparity.


“No FAA air traffic staffing shortages have been reported since Friday,” the FAA said. “Some airlines continue to experience scheduling challenges due to aircraft and crews being out of place. Please contact the airlines for details about current flight schedules.”

Popular conservative attorney Mike Cernovich called out Southwest for being dishonest with customers, tweeting: Southwest needs to tell the truth!

Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posbiec asked why the “weather’ is only disrupting Southwest?
