Dallas-based Southwest Airlines has been in the news for weeks now for all the wrong reasons. There were more than 2,000 flight cancellations over a single weekend earlier this month, for example. The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association has also gone to court to challenge the Southwest Airlines vaccine mandate. Add in rolling waves of flight delays, and what it all amounts to is the airline known for low-cost fares and the friendliness of its employees is now yet another battlefront in the country's ongoing war against not just the coronavirus. But also against the new rules now in place, because of it.
Earlier this month, Southwest acknowledged that it would comply with a December 8 vaccination deadline set by the Biden administration. Employees have to get a vaccination or an exemption by that date. According to an internal Southwest memo, the plan was going to be that employees have to submit their vaccination status and supporting documentation by November 24 (h/t Reuters). "If you’re not yet fully vaccinated," the memo said, "plan accordingly to meet the deadline."
