I routinely finish a trip without even knowing the other persons vaccine status.. If it does come up most of the time it's because your are wanting to brag about how much time you got off using our vaccine LOA. I guess if/when AA tries to make the vaccine mandatory we will see some true colors. But from my experience both the pro-vax and no-vax camps seem to be in agreement that it should be an individuals choice...anyways I thing mandating it or lose your job is crazy, and I got the vax.
nah dude. This is a group 6 guys that can稚 push away from the inter webs and refuse to not get the last word. Some of them don稚 even work here. I知 unvaccinated and fly the triple. My experience has been 1 of 3 responses:
1. You turned down the money?
2. This mandate is BS, hope your exemption is approved.
3. I値l slip you my vaccine card under the table at the hotel lobby so you can get free drinks.
aside from like 6 people out of 13000 no one is an actual dick about it in the cockpit.
on the bright side I got my exemption approved immediately after they announced that if I accept it I値l be placed on unpaid leave. Since I知 not independently wealthy I値l be turning the reasonable accommodation down and getting vaccinated in the next 2 weeks.
hopefully soon we can turn our insults back to the scabs instead of the unvaccinated. 😉
