Yes, I call BS on it... bunch of nambie.... pambie wimps scared to get a little shot....

Of course you have the right to refuse.... go home and quit your job and when you get Covid, deal with it AT HOME. Don't be a burden or danger to others.

Sure dude. I'm sure your posse is PROUD of you!! Roll Eyes Roll Eyes




So...about the only thing I have left to say to Mr. Blume:

I just got an ear full of this stuff.

Nephew is trying to fly now from Denver to Dallas on Southwest. It's uncertain if he will make it this evening or not.

Sister is supposed to fly OKC to Phoenix early in the morning on Southwest. Southwest can't, or won't tell her anything.

There is a really bad storm rolling through this greater area now and later this evening, so that certainly complicates thing.

There is a third reason...Religious exemption protesting the actual construct of the "vaccines" with the use of Fetal Cell Lines. It would seem Libtards want to accuse ME of killing grandma and children because I refuse to take a jab "for the greater good". That's pretty RICH coming from a group that has MURDERED millions of innocent babies.

^^^Don't forget the fourth reason....Those who've already had & recovered from COVID, and therefore now have Robust Natural Immunity!

I claim ALL Four Reasons as exemptions, and justification for my refusal to comply! Wink

what a wonderful start

shut it down, shut everything down, either little by little or all at once

the people mandating vaccinations should get a high speed lead injection of their own

enough of this horseshit

time for being nice and polite is over, time to play rough, time to make people hurt

yeah, its gonna suck and its going to be really inconvenient but it needs to get worse before it can get better

but it will get better and the politicians will have to learn that we're not their subjects, we're their bosses

they are in for a painful awakening when it comes

I just hope it sooner rather than later that this whole thing explodes in their faces

Nah, a real internet tough guy would've quoted every post and doubled-down by the first page. A namby-pamby wimp would post a single comment, see his ass getting singed like it has been here for three pages, and quit the thread.

Run away to post another eyebrow-raising comment another day. Count on it.

Don't forget who is exempt from the Vaccine mandate from Joe Biden. The legislative branch. (Congress) The Judiciary. I am not even sure the CDC employees have to take it.

I really hope this spreads nationwide to let the government know they have gone too far.

The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA) has blamed "management's poor planning" after more than 1,800 flights were cancelled over the weekend.

Following 808 cancellations on Saturday, the airline cancelled another 1,019 flights on Sunday, which accounts for 28% of their scheduled flights for the day, according to FlightAware.

Some of the cities with the most cancelled flights included SWA's hubs in Denver, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Chicago and Dallas, where the airline is based.

I was scheduled to fly home tonight from Fort Lauderdale to Austin on SWA. We got bounced from the baseball tourney earlier than planned and I paid $480.00 in fare difference to rebook to a flight last night. Got notice mid day yesterday that the new flight we booked was cancelled. Got rebooked on an early flight this morning, back to our original travel date. I called SWA and asked when I could expect my $480.00 refund.

I was told that I had to file a complaint via email to request the refund. So I did as soon as we hung up. Email response was quick and blamed the cancellation on ATC and explained that when I cancelled my first flight and rebooked I was making a new reservation which was not entitled to a refund, only a rebook on the best alternative. After explaining that I didn’t have a right to a refund they said they were giving it to me anyway.

All in all, it was a minor inconvenience because we had a free place to stay for the night and I got the $480 refunded. After understanding the real reason I am even less bothered by the cancellation but more disappointed in SWA. Herb, we miss you!

I have to fly back to NC for a trial at the end of the month…and of course Mrs. Mike and I are booked on Southwest(it’s an hour south of me in Austin). Hope this gets resolved before then. Mrs. Mike doesn’t want to drive. I’m all for it because I can bring my gun. (Yes I know you can fly with a gun)

I’m all for this. I hope more places push back. No one should be forced to take any drug for a whole lotta reasons

Sounds like LUV stock is a buy Monday morning.

1800 flights is A LOT.

I got caught up in this a few months ago with American, it was a fucking zoo.

^^^Speaking of AA...

This is not news....Yet, but rumor has it that American Airlines is 'working' on a similar action' to what's happening at Southwest.

This is from Alex Berenson (on Substack), who has proven to be VERY reliable, and has communication from a AA employee indicating they're 'organizing now and preparing to use up sick time and such'. Time will tell, as they say....I say, Bring It! Wink
