If your fleet flies to a destination country that requires the vaccine then I believe that it’ll be required for that fleet. It would make it hard on the operation having 2 groups of pilots, one that can fly to all destinations and one that cannot. If we go the route of having separate groups then they’ll have to hire more and they don’t want that.

Another option is you’ll be removed from the trip without pay, because it’s your choice whether to get vaccinated, so your choice made you ineligible to fly it. That’s not their problem, so no pay for you.

They’ll mandate it to avoid all that mess.
