Southwest airlines

Submitted by GA

I just saw a headline (and no truth) on Drudge: Day 4 of shutdown and no one knows why. Southwest airlines is shut down because they mandated all pilots get the jab, and so many were not jabbed and so many walked off the job to avoid it that it shut down the entire company. The company will not budge. The pilots will not budge. Southwest is going down.

This is not rocket science.

They are not being honest with how many pilots walked off the job either. That’s an easy calculation. Southwest has 8,500 active pilots. Commercial airline Pilots are not permitted to fly a plane more than 30 hours a week. There are 168 hours in a week. You need 2 pilots per plane. That means that to keep flying, you need 168/30 (5.8) x2 pilots = 11.6 pilots to keep ONE plane in the air 24/7. Let’s look at the actual numbers from Southwest to see if my math holds up:

Southwest has 8500 pilots and 718 planes. That equals 11.83 pilots per plane. So my math holds. Ok, so if you have 718 planes and they have turnaround times, and 1085 flights get canceled on the same day while over a thousand get delayed, how many pilots quit? At least half. There’s no math that is going to work for that but at least half. They have more pilots than they need to keep 718 planes up – and they used weather as an excuse while at the same time United and American airlines only had troubles with a combined total of 35 flights. So obviously someone does not want to be honest.

QUESTION: If the vaccine scam is being pushed by claiming those resisting the vax are uneducated and “anti science”, do you think the MSM is going to admit the real reason why Southwest is such a screwup after mandating pilots get the vax? commercial pilots are one step short of astronaut. Can the MSM actually market the idea that astronauts are anti-science? No. They can’t market the idea that pilots are not anti-science either if they are quitting to avoid the jab, so we’ll never see the real reason for the problems at Southwest get published, EVER.

In reality, those pushing the covid con know anti-vaxxers are PRO SCIENCE, they are the only ones who know science well enough to be asking questions. You can bash an accountant, a truck driver, a welder, or any other category which by chance has people with a firm grip on the science, but you cannot get away with bashing pilots. So silence and stupidly worded questions is all we will get when it comes to explaining why Soutwest has so many delayed and canceled flights, the MSM won’t even touch the topic of pilot walk outs because if they do, they might be asked why. And “science” matters.

The MSM is desperately claiming the problems at Southwest are caused by southwest allowing too many pilots to take leaves of absense for Covid and that they did not call them back on time. But look at the top, where I did the math. Southwest DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH PILOTS TO EVER FLY WITH A HUGE NUMBER ON LEAVE, they need 11.6 pilots per plane and had 11.83. That’s why math matters, it proves the MSM is lying about the reasons – Southwest would have always had problems this serious if the MSM was speaking an ounce of truth, no, there were never enough pilots at Southwest to have THAT MANY on leave, they always ran it right on the edge. They had enough pilots for occasional sick calls and that’s all.

And when a huge number walked out over the jab, that was all she wrote.
