OK all these exposures of the inefficacy of the vaccines and the damages that they cause seems like it’s a major win. When big tobacco was facing similar issues of exposure, it had enough financial power to manipulate things in scientific literature, and in public policy to maintain their market share. Bill Gates and the WHO treaty are our biggest obstacle to having any long-term benefit from all the work we’re doing trying to expose the lies and put forth the truth. The WHO treaty basically creates public health martial law worldwide, and it’s slipping in as we look at other things, we need a multiplier that activates some significant resistance to the WHO treaty, and all the crap Bill Gates is dreaming up beyond this.

Hi Jeff - love your blogs. I am a Southwest pilot. Just to se the record straight:

1) crew staffing has not been the issue this past week. There have been plenty of bodies in the system and available, the entire time.

2) the issue that caused the meltdown is multiple faceted:

a) the storm significantly impacted two crew bases, MDW and DEN

b) SWA does not run a traditional “hub and spoke” network, and cities impacted by such an event, including several “mega” cities, generate a much greater system wide dilemma than a traditional “hub and spoke” system would feel.

c) the antiquated software that SWA uses to put the puzzle together wrt crew placement is woefully inadequate to handle the scenario that occurred. Our pilot union has been screaming this from the mountain tops to our company leaders for a number of years. THIS is the primary reason for our incredibly delayed recovery from this event, NOT lack of crew bodies.

d) realizing where we were at as the meltdown began, SWA intentionally throttled the schedule back through the 29th (today) to about 1/3 of the original schedule (roughly 1500 flights). This is what the company felt was needed just to stabilize the situation. The schedule should resume to normal as of the 30th (tomorrow).

This has been very embarrassing for all who work at Southwest Airlines. The hope, going forward, is that this will light a match under the butts of leadership to make serious IT changes/updates to our operation, and do it with a much greater sense of urgency than has been placed on this issue to date.
