I meant those not taking vaccines in this country.

but that has nothing to do with the delta variant. Or any other variant to come. It's not those in the US its global and I believe only 30% of the globe is vaccinated. So who do we place the blame on? Those in the US who dont agree with ourselves or the countries where it's not even available? It's a poop sandwich either way.

Can’t control those countries. We can controls ours, right? If these woe-is-me body rights anti-vax had taken their shots, we’d collectively be much better off today.

It’s the only way out without crowding hospitals to the point people are being turned away because there are no beds. I double dog dare anyone senior to me to resign out of protest for a vaccine mandate.

awe…. Here we go. I’ll see your vaccine mandate and double down… go full on Gavin Newsome on ya by requiring masks even if you’ve HAD the vaccine…

Well that’s what it has boiled down to. Cases and hospitalizations speak for themselves from ~April compared to present August time. Wouldn’t have to be this way if it wasn’t for the anti-jab crowd.

Between seeing FO’s say they’re going backwards onto reserve after the company announces 145 upgrades to start the new year then on to arguing that everyone needs a vax to bids being cancelled… it’s amazing this pilot group can get a single airplane off the ground with how whiny y’all sound. The worst part about this EIL recall is possibly having to share a cockpit with a bunch of eeyores.

It’s not imaginary. It’s my percentage seniority in base. It’s getting worse. Been trending that way all summer.

One of the guys in my class who is jr to me tried long call because the lines we get are so awful.

I wish I was just whining and making it all up.

Go to another base, it’s not that difficult. Your company wide seniority isn’t going backwards.

Here we go. Post were someone says AS isn’t a place for commuters in 3, 2, 1…

After just a few years it’s insanely obvious why things have gotten so bad.

but it's not about the anti vax crowd with over 70% of Americans vaccinated, herd immunity we were told, it's about global vaccination which we have no control over. Or do we, with millions of doese going unused is the us?
the problem is the delta variant broke through. The vaccine was never a vaccine but a flu shot. Now people will have to get boosters. How long will that go on? All while the mortality rate decreases to flu levels.
simply we have to admit it's not controllable and it's the flu. I dont see that happening until every pennie is squeezed from the Gov to support non covid related agendas.
covid (flame) on...
