That's an interesting explanation considering there haven't been weather or air traffic control problems since Friday.Speculation swirls over possible 'sickout' as Southwest Airlines abruptly cancels more than 1,800 flights https://t.co/yh7AnrPJwJ

CNBC reported:Is the cancellation chaos due to Southwest's vaccine mandate? Could be.The Federal Aviation Administration said there were a "few hours" of flight delays on Friday afternoon because of severe weather and staffing issues at Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center, which controls airspace in five parts of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina. "No FAA air traffic staffing shortages have been reported since Friday," the FAA said. "Some airlines continue to experience scheduling challenges due to aircraft and crews being out of place. Please contact the airlines for details about current flight schedules."
Let's see:

-Southwest blames flight cancellations this weekend on bad weather and air traffic control staffing issues.
-FAA says staffing issues were resolved Friday.
-Bad weather apparently forced only Southwest to cancel flights.
This is fairly obviously a vax mandate strike.
