The Southwest Air CEO is going to follow a Biden executive order because it supersedes an executive order by Texas Governor Abbott. However, he won’t enforce it by firing anyone and he’ll look at other accommodations.
Biden is destroying the travel industry.
IS THERE AN ORDER?
It’s not even clear there is an order. There was an order on September 9 for Federal agencies.
On September 24th, the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force issued guidance, explaining that agencies and federal contractors should comply with President Joe Biden’s Sept. 9 executive order.
The order described the process agencies will take to embed new safety protocols, which include the requirement that contractors be fully vaccinated, as clauses in government contracts and contract-like instruments.
Like the mandate for federal employees, contractors must ensure all of their employees are fully vaccinated, “except in limited circumstances where an employee is legally entitled to an accommodation,” the administration said.
It doesn’t sound legitimate, but in a fascist country, it doesn’t matter.

THE STORY
The CEO of Southwest Air Gary C. Kelly told ABC News’s host George Stephanopoulos that he is not in favor of the President’s order to have every federal employee and contractor vaccinated. Apparently, airlines are federal contractors. He also said he isn’t going to fire anyone but will do his best to comply.
That’s a change in messaging. This comes after a three-day work stoppage that caused the airline to cancel 25% of their flights.
“I’ve never been in favor of corporations imposing that kind of a mandate, I’m not in favor of that, never have been,” Kelly said on CNBC. “But the executive order from President Biden mandates that all federal employees and then all federal contractors, which covers all major airlines, have to have a vaccine mandate in place by December 8. So we’re working through that.”
In early September, Biden said that federal government employees and contractors will now be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration will create a rule for private businesses with 100 or more employees to require their employees to be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing.
We are still waiting for the OSHA order.
Biden’s telling OSHA to create a law, not a rule, and once it’s in place, there will be lawsuits. It’s about as legitimate as the Housing rule by the CDC. As for mandating it for federal workers and contractors, he might be able to do that.
THEY’LL COMPLY BUT NOT REALLY
Southwest issued a statement Tuesday that they would comply with Biden’s order, not Governor Abbott’s order. The President’s order “supersedes any state mandate or law,” and the company is required to adhere to it despite Abbott’s action “to remain compliant as a federal contractor.”
Now, in this clip, Kelly said that no employees would be fired over the company’s vaccine mandate. Earlier, the airline announced that all employees needed to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by November 24 or face termination.
“We are not going to fire any employees over this,” Kelly said.
Apparently, he won’t enforce it. At least that’s what he says now. His claim that the work stoppage had nothing to do with the vaccine defies credulity.
Biden is now destroying our travel industry. He destroys everything he touches.

Xi O’Brandon (CCP/CPUSA) will burn it all down better in order to build back the CCCP even worse.
They can all eat shit and this republic isn’t big enough for commie RAT slime and Patriots.
The “commie RAT slime…” am afraid are about forty years ahead of you…and via their complicit accomplices in the MSM/Social media do have a distinctive edge….Notice XiJoey immediately after being fraudulently “installed” gave blanket amnesty to the terrorists of the last five years – antifa or brown shirts and BLM (Burn Loot Murder) or red guards…labelled the Jan 6th “protesters” terrorists ( along with EVERY hard working, tax paying citizen, gun owner, conservative and Christian ) and are still holding many WITHOUT bail…The Constitution is on the way out and the Republic is in a palliative state…Notice Alinsky’s rule played out to a ‘tee’…EVERYTHING they accused Trump of being….THEY ARE!!!
This is just massive overreach by the Federal Government. Where is the Supreme Court? All they have to do is have one or two Justices indicate they will side with the rights of The People and this insanity is over without Lawsuits, but I favor a suit in the Supreme Court. If the Court doesn’t clip the Executive Branch’s wings, there will be an Amendment that puts the whole Federal Government on a very, very short leash. Things like the Federal Government has no say in Medical matters, the Congress Must approve All directives and policies of the Executive Branch, term limits, balanced budgets, a complete overhaul or the Justice Department, defunding the FBI, and limiting the scope of the Capitol Police’s authority along with all other Federal Law enforcement. We need a serious return of States Rights to the States and Inalienable Rights to The People.
Of course it’s massive overreach by the ferals, I agree 100%, but to ask for intervention by the Supreme Court is asking for your own private utopia. They have become political operatives no matter how you look at it. The only trustworthy ones serving the court anymore are Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, the rest are, at best landfill. No intelligent attorney from what I understand, is willing to put it all on the line and fight these un lawful mandates put out by employers and others in court because they all know it’s a losing proposition, the courts are all against them from the get go.
