Title: Jacksonville controllers walkout?
Post by: bflynn on October 09, 2021, 06:34:41 PM: Hearing there was a walkout yesterday over vaccine mandates? That controllers shut down center and cancelled hundreds of flights?

Can’t find anything reliable reporting it, they say it was weather.

Normal operations returned at approximately 10 p.m.”
