FFS HB. I have no great stock in this. I’m not rooting for the bailout or Southwest or whatever else.
By my reading, the $300 million loss isn’t 100 percent to employees who are not interested in medicine. I’ve yet to see any facts that disprove this. I’ve barely seen facts that explain it as a mass walkout, though that might be the case. Please share the facts. I want those facts. If I see those facts, I’ll roll back my skepticism.
But just telling me there’s the secret walkout and that’s the whole thing, I’m not totally gonna buy it. Is it a big factor? Sure. But it doesn’t seem like the whole $300 mil enchilada, pending some real live facts.
(If we’re gonna talk about articles, here’s the press release all these places wrote off of https://www.southwestairlinesinvestorrelations.com/news-and-events/news-releases/2021/10-21-2021-114520553)
And your saying “FFS” to me? The irony is hysterical.
you took us down this silly rabbit hole and so I won’t waste anymore of your time or mine on this.
this was a conversation about the potential economic effects of the vaccine mandate, and a theory of mine, obviously shared by some others, that the vaccine mandates have potentially as much or more negative impact on the economy and services.
You can believe whatever you want as I get the sense that’s how you operate anyway regardless of what is put in front of you to read.
I’m not the only one who posted things for you to read.
The CNBC article I just posted clearly indicates that $75 million was directly related to the flight cancellations which happened in abundance between October 8 and October 13. It also indicates that it had other impacts and that total losses were 300 million.
Southwest has publicly and flat out denied that it was related at all to the vaccine mandate so you have that on your side and if that’s what you want to believe that’s your privilege.
Numerous employees have gone public without revealing their names and said otherwise and the circumstantial evidence to support their claim is overwhelming. No other airline had flight cancellations outside of the norm and that five day stretch that they had attributed to Florida weather. They publicly changed their position on the vaccine mandates and suddenly and swiftly their flight cancellation problem went away. and all of this happened just days before the vaccine mandate was to take effect.
If you can’t surmise what is obvious, because it doesn’t fit some narrative- then cheers to you.
