From a contact who is an air traffic controller:
1 @SouthwestAir cancellations & delays are 100% a vaccine mandate protests (which you already knew)
2 Employee protests of other airlines are planned
3 If enforced, ATC vaccine mandates likely to disrupt air traffic globally.
As to that last,
Being an air traffic controller takes very intense training and ability to to react to critical situations in an instant. Highly stressful job. Controllers train for many years to qualify for the job, and only around 1% of applicants make it through to qualify.
Don’t you wish Uncle Joe Brandon’s handlers would send the senile old coot back to his basement? But alas, he’s destroying the country far more efficiently than even they could have hoped, so we’re stuck with him until the rebellion gains enough steam to oust him.
Thanks to Bill Martin for alerting us to this particular bit of impending chaos.
