Looks like yet another airline is headed for troubled waters due to covid staffing and scheduling nightmares.

Southwest Airlines pilots are preparing to picket as front-line employees at the airline complain of mismanagement, low staffing, scheduling chaos and a lack of food and hotels for pilots and flight attendants.

Can't say as I blame them. Between unruly passengers and evidently lack of support from headquarters at some point even the most tolerant of employees is going to get fed up. Glad I got out when I did.

People ask me why I got out of nursing and EMS in 2015. THEN, they have the gall to ask why I didn't go back to help during the COVID thing.
