She told me that her husband had a flight last night but no co-pilot showed up,

luckily there was a dead heading pilot on the plane. He changed into his dirty uniform in the lavatory and volunteered to fly the route home with her husband so they could leave. Apparently there's a rule that you must be in uniform in the cockpit...

Yikes.

It's not true. Has nothing to do with the vaccine.

What is correct then?

That is what SWA is saying cause they aren’t going to admit a large number of

It has nothing to do with masks. We have been flying under a TSA mask mandate since January. Nobody is calling in sick

It’s not weather and ATC. I flew today in and out of airports today that

It was weather and ATC that started this whole mess. It snowballed from there.

Yeah, I’m not buying it.

So what do you think it is? I’m curious.

If you’re going to fly SWA, why not just save a few bucks and go Greyhound?

Greyhound only has busses, most likely traveling longer distance and SW saves

This is getting stupid now. That’s not it.

What is it then? You can’t call people out and not provide a reason.

Sounds like it’s the vaccine mandate
