Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly blamed President Joe Biden for the airline’s decision to go the route of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for its staff, arguing the new rules for federal contractors put them in a bind.
The federal contractor rule dates back to September 9, but Kelly’s answer was given in the context of a new Texas order from Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) that bans COVID-19 vaccine mandates by employers in the state. Southwest Airlines is both a federal contractor and based in Dallas, Texas.

The best answer/action for the Southwest CEO is to just tell biden to go fuck himself.

DeleteThey rolled over without any resistance. They should have sued the Administration instead. Gutless wonders runnig an airline. Fortunately, their pilots have backbones.

DeleteWonder how this will turn out?
Mealy mouthed executive wants to blame anyone and everything but himself. Biden's "order" is blatantly illegal and beyond the scope of his power. This wussy could have simply said no. Instead he climbed on board the commies Fascist train and imposed the mandate. Fuck him.....he needs to lose his job.
