Vaccine mandates suspected to be behind cancelled flights in the US

HOUSTON, TEXAS – Several Southwest Airlines flights out of Houston’s Hobby Airport were cancelled Saturday leading to confusion among thousands of passengers some stranded.

While some flights proceeded on schedule, many more were cancelled due to shortage of flight crews and in some cases pilots.

One flight scheduled to depart from Hobby to Nashville was ready at the gate with available crew but was later cancelled because there were “no pilots to fly the plane,” as the announcer said through the PA system.

DNT investigations revealed that vaccine mandates are beginning to be initiated by some airlines including Southwest, and some of the pilots are reported to be “very upset about it” and are calling in sick, said one retired pilot.

President Biden recently touted the success chalked by hospitals in New York City where vaccine mandates resulted in as high as 92% vaccination rate among healthcare workers there. “Mandates work,” said Biden

But “you can’t force people to do what they really don’t want to do especially introducing unproven chemicals into their bodies,” said our retired pilot.

Meanwhile, several passengers who were lucky enough to get rebooked on later flights were further disappointed when those flights were also cancelled.
