They claim weather so they can do voucher passes instead of refunds, it’s a liability measure.

One statistic I haven’t seen brought up: Southwest had over 10x as many cancellations last weekend as mainline American, Delta, and United. Combined.

Meanwhile they expect us to believe that weather and other issues in one part of one state has caused thousands of Southwest flights to be cancelled.

The [government] and the airline say this isn't true.

Of course the two institutions directly responsible for this mandate would never lie or misdirect to cover up the unpopularity of said mandate.

Welcome to 2021, where journalists think multi-billion dollar corporations and governments are the most trustworthy sources who should be believed without question.

In fact, anyone who does question these infallibly honest outlets are the ones that are suspect.

No journos don't think they're telling the truth.

Journos agree with the reason they're lying and are helping them.

The Southwest CEO is a part of the WEF.

He was always going to be for mandates as a part of the Great Reset.

You don't understand, his hands were tied because of a White House press release.

Southwest also said, in the same breath, that it was weather and ATC issues.

No other airlines were affected by this "weather" and the ATC came out with a statement essentially saying "no, it wasn't us."

Southwest airlines directly lied to their customers. Whether or not the real reason is a vaccine mandate strike or not doesn't change that, that's just a fact. And using that statement as a source for anything is horrible journalism.

That's some hard hitting journalism right there! Following the breadcrumbs to the ends of the earth, relentlessly asking questions and getting to the bottom of things!

No other airline flying out of that airport had a problem.
