Some pilots come out encouraging other pilots to take a stand. Then the CEO sites absenteeism instead of weather. Well, there's one lie. It's not unreasonable to assume there's more. So, now the CEO has lied, some pilots are claiming the had a sick out. If, like you suggested, pilots staged a sick out to avoid flying with the unvaccinated, it would be on every news station. I know it was an attempt at humor, but it's just another example of you burying your head in the sand. People don't like mandates. They will quit. It will cause problems.

Right now, no one can say for certain that the mandate caused the problems, but I can say for certain the CEO is lying. I can say for certain there is a subset of the people that don't like the mandates. Your snarky remark about them not wanting to fly with the unvaccinated, even if said in jest, is just illogical. At least Stroud is drawing a reasonable conclusion. Why can't you just acknowledge the possibility that the mandate is causing problems? Oh that's right....

Lol, could it be? Sure. Jumping to conclusions? Of course, that's all the rage these days. My example was merely the opposite conclusion reasonably drawn from the same limited information. The other position is "reasonable" to you because it's your cause, but it's very important that everyone makes sure that anything adverse that happens is because of or in response to their personal positions.

When I'm wrong, just show me. I'll try to move that way to the degree that I am able. Maybe I can't see it still, but it won't be for a lack of trying. FSG does not appear to be open to movement on this position. At least that's how it seems. Covid is his Urban Myer for the political section. At least he has a chance to be right with Urban. He's already been wrong way too often when it comes to Covid.

That's certainly your opinion.

Or they could, you know, get the shot. But no, gird your loins and call out your lawyers. Attack the economy and the health of your friends and neighbors to get your way.
