What about the other major airlines? They also imposed the shots. They're flying to most of the destinations South does!!??

It is a fair point, and I did consider it, but it requires knowledge of company culture I cannot find out.

There's two aspects - the first is whether or not the companies allowed exemptions, permit good time off (good health plans, etc), remember, Southwest are one of the cheapest airlines, and the second is the randomisation aspect of mRNA instability.

The shots and their impacts are not uniform in distribution or timing. Myocarditis and pericarditis is worsened by exercise and strenuous activities. For pilots it is flight ceiling (do SW fly at higher altitudes than other airlines?). If you refer to the pig farmers - who do a lot of hard labour - we see the decline very early on - just before 2021. But for airline pilots, we've only just seen it start to rear its head in late 2022.

The 111 in 2021 - spread over the entire industry - despite being many factors larger than normal, is still 'manageable'. United Airlines fired 600 unvaccinated pilots, for contrast, and somehow they are managing. However, without knowing which airlines are losing the most pilots, it is impossible to know which will tip first.

Southwest's memo also applied to *all* staff - including baggage handlers and managers, not just pilots (I can't reference the other staff though, because whilst 'pilot has heart attack in mid-air' is newsworthy, 'manager in random back office has heart attack' is not, so it is impossible to reference).

The vaccine mandates hypothesis can be disproven in one of two ways:

1) Staff sicknesses abate and the same (not new!) staff members return to work, or

2) No other airlines tip over in the next year.

I genuinely predict in 2023, we will see more airlines tip-over.

I bet you the US government will have to deploy the military to manage Southwest given the shortages in staff numbers. But that trick is only going to last so long...

Why won't they admit what's really going on?

I heard it’s caused by their antiquated computer system. They built their IT on a foundation when the company was way smaller. The snowstorms etc. affected their scheduling combined with it being over the holidays and it just snowballed from there.
