The closest thing I've said to that is IF foreign countries REQUIRE inbound aliens to be vaccinated you're going to have to comply or find a new job unless you can bid domestic only. Even most regionals go to Canada. That's obvious fact, the only part subject to debate is how likely it will be that critical destinations mandate it. Maybe they'll allow a pre-arrival test in lieu of vaccination. Or maybe not. But either way, the peoples republic of china (or the peoples republic of canada) aren't going to do any polls to see what you or I think about the issue.

Some airlines *might* require all employees to get vaccinated, that's going to depend on corporate culture, and the business and legal landscape. They *can* legally do so, once vaccines have regular FDA approval. If they start getting sued left and right by customers and employees who get covid from other employees, and the fed just lets it happen, that's going to drive mandatory vaccination. Some airlines are already advocating mandatory vaccination, and at least one has said they will not mandate it.

If circumstances mandate that airline workers need to be vaccinated, I'm cool with that. And I don't think airlines should pay people who CHOOSE not to meet the minimum requirements to come to work.
