I consider it to be assault with a deadly weapon.
That justifies extreme prejudice in response.
Might as well take a few of them with you.

Southwest Airlines asked a federal court to reject a lawsuit filed by a Southwest pilots union to temporarily block the company from carrying out its COVID-19 vaccine mandate, arguing the order would put its business, customers, and employees at risk.
Earlier this month, the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA) filed a lawsuit to prevent the carrier from mandating that all its workers get vaccinated. The union asserts that Southwest, which last week experienced thousands of flight cancelations and delays, illegally changed work rules instead of negotiating with them.
“The injunction that SWAPA seeks is extraordinary,” Southwest’s lawyers said in its court filing, responding to the union’s suit, reported Bloomberg. It further argued that a ruling against Southwest would potentially cause the cancellation of Southwest’s contracts with the federal government, creating “substantial harm” to its businesses and its employees, including the pilots.
In early October, Southwest said that its 56,000 workers, including pilots, have to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by Dec. 8 under federal rules and cited President Joe Biden’s Sept. 9 announcement that federal workers and contractors need to get the shot unless they’re granted a medical or religious exemption. Southwest added that it has to require federal vaccines because the carrier is a federal contractor that flies government cargo, employees, and provides it with other services.

They ate committing suicide.
SWA is Lost.
Time to withdraw.
At risk for what? The flu? They truly are committing suicide.
I used to have a favorable opinion of Southwest Airlines for its independence and style, and its Texas roots. No longer as it has become just another minion of the corrupt establishment.
Southwest is azzhoe. They didn’t need to fight this at all. They are siding with Biden. Whores... chasing 30 pieces of government silver.
I guess we are not “free to move around the country”.
Someone, somewhere has already been paid to deliver the goods. (forcing universal vaccination)
Now consider this, If they succeed in forcing companies of all types to take the Jab, they will expand to individual citizens who are in no way connected to the Fed Gov Monster.
I refuse. That is a promise. Will state no more than that.
“ flies government cargo, employees, and provides it with other services.“
Like flying camel jockeys from Afghanistan to America...
It is amazing that SWA lawyers would put its lies on paper and present it to a court. There is currently no mandate for federal contract holders to have their employees jabbed. There is currently no expiring, or offer to extend, contract situation, the only kind where terms can be negotiated, going on between SWA and the government.
SWA will receive no immediate harm from a TRO to prevent the jab. Pilots have a great chance of immediate medical harm, and danger to passengers, if they are jabbed. The pilot is the only employee on the plane who holds people’s lives in their hands. Every other employee on the plane can drop dead from effects of the jab, and the plane can land safely.
We need to stop this right here. If we don’t, mandates for passengers will be next.

No one flies SWA for the company.
They fly it for the employees.
Well said, and ditto for me.
Yes. He was fully schooled in Communism.
I’ve already lived a full life and everyone should have a hobby. Taking some with you is as good a way to go as any.
Double ditto for me.
Same here. Always flew with them.
Not really. People fly cheap fares. That’s it.
one major prerequisite or cause of dictatorial governments is the dictatorial or fascist people in a society
people who want to lord over other folks (even to the extreme of trying to force them to get shot with whatever experimental injections come down the pike)
such psychopaths resonate with dictators doing the very same thing to even more people
(oddly, including themselves... but there’s no real explanation for human behavior and especially not for anti-social or psychotic behavior)
