Southwest Airlines Community

You probably don’t know that, as of today, 56% of US population is injected. A lot of nurses got fired because they refused to be injected. Ask “why”?  ... View more

I'm all for following the rules, but the LAW overrides Southwest policy. Southwest cannot demand that passengers wear medical devices on their faces. They aren't licensed to practice medicine.    And basing some whimsical policy on a random executive order isn't how you law is made. Only Congress can make laws. Until there is an actual codified statute EXPLICITLY stating that 2 year olds be forced to wear face masks, bringing up the old "following rules" platitude is senseless.  ... View more

Shoes and shirts are considered to be normal social etiquette; face masks, on the other hand, are medical devices. That's why Southwest has no authority to demand that we customers smother ourselves with those medical devices as no one at Southwest is licensed to practice medicine.    Not to mention, even practicing physicians cannot DEMAND that their clients wear face masks; they can at best prescribe them. If you disagree with the fact that a face mask is a medical device, then take it up with the FDA.  ...

The videos of kicking children off of flights were all kids that just wouldn’t wear one in the moment, which is absolutely heartless and even against the WHO recommendations.  Again, you are dealing with a federal rule, and not just a Southwest policy. The feds require airlines to enforce the rule.   Your recourse is complain strenuously to your congresspeople and senators. ... View more

I'm just going to say I've flown 20 flights since jan 1, and I've had nothing but good flight experiences.   although i should, maybe I should post 20 times about my flight experiences.   ... View more

Sorry, I totally disagree.   You were treated professionally, and in accordance with the rules.   You wanted special consideration and didn't get it.   So you come and complain here.   Claiming you were a flight attendant doesn't bolster your case.   On the contrary it makes you a hypocrite.    Next time weigh your bag.   Don't make other people strain to compensate for your laziness.  ...
