(And this comes from a libertarian who truly prescribes to “live & let live”).

SWA doesn’t care about your thoughts on the matter….just saying.

On a side note can I get the details on your statement “a majority of our society is fed up…..” I have seen absolute NO data on this and in fact the only ones I have seen indicate the complete opposite. I just read an article about how anti-woke is a recipe for financial disaster and being “woke” as you call it is NOT how a company goes broke. It used Keurig, United Airlines, Carhart, Disney, NIke, Amazon, NFL and Kellogg’s as financial examples. Now the analysis was interesting because there was always short term hits but long term those companies outperformed the competition. It seems from a financial viewpoint there is a reason to implement DEI….it’s almost as if the companies have done their research on this one.

I would be interested in seeing your data points…

You anti DEI Tucker Swanson people just really crack me up. Are you the same people that actually think you or your ideas mean anything to this company? Just a hint, you are a nothing to them. You are less than a nothing. You are easily replaceable and they don’t seem to really care about your thoughts on anything. They don’t care if you don’t like DEI, LGBQT, FFDO, COVID shots or any other myriad of things they support or allow to happen. Stay in your lane and only worry about yourself and those closest to you. Southwest Airlines has not and never will care about you so stop worrying about them. Go to work, do what they want and cash your check. They will survive or die with or without your help and there is NOTHING you can do about it.
Feel better now?

As of today May 16th 2023, 18.3% of the Southwest plumbers on the MSL were hired since the Contract became amendable. Soon, 1 in 5 plumbers will have worked their entire time at SWA under an expired Contract.

I know how you feel on this topic Whack... but I also can't imagine you would ever go to this length to make your point. This is going to be hurtful to REAL people. Our coworkers and neighbors.

If that billboard DID come from one of our employees (and I sincerely hope it didn't) Is it any wonder that we are being assigned DEI training? We clearly need it.
Sorry Zap. I just don’t see it that way. We’ll have to agree to disagree. I’d like to think I’m pretty tolerant of other people and their lifestyles but the pendulum has swung too far and needs to swing back to center some.

Of course I don’t want anyone to commit suicide or go off on yet another mass shooting, but the extreme Left has pushed their perverted agenda too far and I’m very happy to see some pushback on it.

Extremism isn’t a good thing in either direction.

First of all, SWA shouldn’t care about my thoughts on the matter. THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT! I don’t care about their thoughts on the matter either and thus I don’t want the constant flow of DEI propaganda when I’m at work. I don’t care what they think about it either. It’s politics and politics doesn’t belong in the workplace.

As to your second point….of course these companies are pushing this crap partly for business purposes. It’s being mandated from entities above SWA in the corporate/financial food chain. Doesn’t matter. It’s got no place in the workplace.

Data points?! Homie ain’t gotz no data points. I’ve got a decent knack at observing the society around me and the vast majority of people from hard right to moderate left are not buying this bu11$it.

On that we can agree. At the end of the day I still say there’s more that unites us than divides us.

Well obviously time for another video..... In the woke's mind, that's just PROOF that 84% need more re-educating.

he also said he had many pilots ask him why we weren't fixing the operation first instead of focusing on DEI and he said DEI is integral to the operation.
I've never seen so much spin since McEnroe played tennis
