You should see their heads explode when you dare suggest that your seniority is just as valuable as theirs.

Yep. And I don't see yet another airline bailout happening this time if emplanements don't pick up. Seems like this is true:

Southwest, American Airlines to require vaccines for workers despite Texas ban
Southwest Airlines and American Airlines, both based in Texas, will still require employees to get vaccinated despite the state's new ban on vaccine mandates by private businesses, Politico reports. Why it matters: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a sweeping executive order Monday night banning...

Did he forget about the "testing" part of the so called "mandate" he's referring to?

There is no testing part for that mandate. You’re thinking of the OSHA mandate, which is different. Southwest is a government contractor. That mandate doesn’t allow for a testing out.

The “do your own research” crowd is so quick to cite multiple “studies” and unsubstantiated FaceBook articles from reputable and patriotic sources that nobody has ever heard of like labtruth.org or vaxknow.us warning us of many long-term side effects and dangers of the vaccine, while in the same breath saying it “just hasn’t been out long enough” and “we just don’t know enough.”
Which is it?

Something like 6 billion doses of covid vaxes have been given. If there was some big spooky problem, we’d all know by now.

Forced? There is a simple answer if he doesn't want to mandate his employees. Don't do government contracts. Even better...it would bring some relief to an, already overworked, employee group.

I've been ovet on PJP tweeking people the last day or so. They believe that a massive uprising is coming and I've been pouring cold water on that idea. The reality is that many of them have bills to pay and kids to clothe and feed. They can grand stand all they want, but they will get stabbed when push comes to shove.

Them ~"I know THOUSANDS of Southwest pilots that called out sick."
Me~ "A huge number of cancelations happened back in early summer very similar to this before there was even word of a vaccine mandate. Southwest is very short staffed and any tickle to the system couses a huge cascading mess. It has nothing to do with vaccine mandates."
Them ~"No. This is different. The pilots are taking their airline back..."
Me~ "No. That would technically be illegal if were true."
Them ~ " 'Let's Go Brandon' "
Me~ "Facepalm"

I know what they were referring to. But I quoted them for accuracy. Even with that, the symptom is only temporary and subsides quickly with proper treatment. There are side effects from just about any medication a person takes.
