What types of travel by crew are exempt from the requirements of the Order?Crew members on official duty assigned by the air carrier or operator that involves operation of aircraft, or the positioning of crew not operating the aircraft (i.e., on “deadhead” status), are exempt from the requirements of the Order provided their assignment is under an air carrier’s or operator’s occupational health and safety program.”

I did a lot of international in a previous job and it was fun but I’m not interested any more. I haven’t paid any attention to the details about international room quarantines since I’m domestic only now. This further cements my decision not to fly international, though!

If it's impractical to maintain airtight testing cycles on crew, then you can just accept the fact that they're essential workers.

It seems like some places will do it. I’m curious if airlines will allow us to restrict ourselves from being able to operate to certain destinations if crew members choose not to get vaccinated.

I’m confused by a lot the ‘Follow the Science’ crowd trumpets, but the Qatar flight that recently flew with fully vaccinated pax, crew, and everyone associated has to take the cake.
So even with everything right, as good as it gets, and the trolls STILL made everyone wear the stupid face mask.
WTF is up with that?
Almost like it’s just woke people virtue signaling.
