Im with the union on most everything. On this I believe we are wrong.
Calling out sick on a trip because you scheduled a booster shot that is easily scheduled pretty much anywhere and anytime is purely our union encouraging us to overreach.
Professionals pilots know what the alcohol limits are and accordingly drink alcohol outside of those limits. In this situation we know what the limits are in terms of booster shots and that should be scheduled as well outside of those limits.
Now, if you get a booster shot during a stretch of off days and for some reason you have a reaction that goes into a flight then of course call off.
But I do not agree that you should be able to schedule a booster shot Over a trip. It’s one thing if your symptoms go into another one beyond 48 hours but the schedule of booster purposely on top of the trip in my opinion is an overreach.
