I think it's a bit sad. We live overseas at the moment and traditionally fly in two of three times a year. Normally we would be using Southwest for a lot of our internal flights - they're convenient, direct and usually reasonably competitive.

We won't be flying SWA this year since sadly they've decided to risk the health of both their staff and customers by not requiring a simple vaccination. We'll be seeing more of ORD, DEN and IAH this summer and hoping that rational thought eventually prevails and Southwest goes back to doing the right thing and mandating the vaccine for their front line employees.
