Passenger “No Mandates” is called to the Southwest Airlines ticket counter at the San Diego airport

In what appeared to be a prank pulled by an airline passenger opposed to restrictive vaccine mandates, the Southwest Airlines ticket counter at the San Diego Airport called a person named “Noman Dates” (No Mandates) to the counter over the airport gate intercom. Opposition to Southwest Airlines’ vaccine mandates has sparked rumors of a pilots’ strike, though corporate media has rushed to “debunk” such claims.
