This would have become apparent long ago during more obvious weather issues, or even last year when covid affected personnel being out sick. But it happens now, pretty much out of the blue. It doesn't make sense.

No, it's a both problem. Because when the mandate goes into full effect, those people doing sick outside will leave the company and the same thing will happen.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

It has something to do, apparently, with the union contract that won't allow Southwest pilots to keep sick time in conjunction with the vaccine mandate, so there are many who are "burning through" their sick time, using it up before quitting, since they otherwise would forfeit it.

We already had a bad enough supply chain problem because of COVID, but now with his vaccine mandate nonsense, we are going to see an even bigger problem affecting all facets of our economy, from hospitals, to airlines.

The way I heard it: Many companies are doing mandates. but SW has a much higher than average number of former-military pilots who recognize the need to oppose fascism relatively early.

40%!!!!!!
IIRC, the Seattle city government also passed several measures to defund their police last month

Fact check: Southwest will comply with federal vaccine mandate, but employees won't be fired over it
The claim: Southwest Airlines’ CEO said the company won’t follow the federal vaccine mandate and won’t fire anyone over it
Our rating: Partly false
We rate the claim that Southwest Airlines’ CEO said the company won’t follow the federal vaccine mandate and won’t fire anyone over it as PARTLY FALSE. It's true Southwest Airlines’ CEO said he doesn’t support corporate mandates and won’t be firing anyone over one, but the company has said it will comply with the Biden administration’s mandate.
