It's not a temporary issue...so the pilot should consider bidding a different fleet (737 or 320) where their seniority can hold trips that don't require vaccination. We've been informed/warned - and there is a vacancy currently open with unfilled narrowbody slots.
I'm guessing they don't want the constant open time 'churn' that would inevitably result from pilots bidding trips they know they aren't going to actually fly.
