It’s completely relevant. The company made a policy that makes them ineligible to exercise their certificate for a medical reason. It’s the language of the UPA verbatim.
I’m not aware of a pilot who was put on a unpaid leave who had a medical exemption for the yellow fever vaccine, are you?

Yes, I just hope they are afforded the rights due to them in the UPA. I’m not talking about the crazies who think the vaccine will make them magnetic or alter their DNA, but people who have real medical reasons to not get vaccinated like severe allergic reactions, complicating heart conditions, etc. They shouldn’t just be put on the street when the alternative is death.

You are going to take the word of an unshaven man who can't feed himself without getting food on his face vs all the peer reviewed, published studies done showing more robust protection from the vaccine? The CDC recommends vaccination even for those recovered from covid. There is no guarantee which strain you had or if you had a severe enough case to build antibodies. Just take a gander at the numbers last week in NJ 96% (42 vaccinated out of 1000) of hospitalizations are from the unvaccinated population. It is pretty difficult to come to the conclusion that the vaccine isn't working when you look at real data.

I don't think anyone disagrees with case by case legitimate medical conditions.. I'd like to see honest examples of them though. And for what it's worth preference for an un-offered treatment isn't qualifying.

Ok, you were replying to a discussion about whether a medical condition prohibiting you from getting the vaccine qualified someone for LTD by the terms of the policy/UPA if the company mandates unpaid leave as an accommodation. I’m not really sure what you’re saying has to do with that, unless you are saying they should just be terminated and therefore not qualify for LTD, which ends on termination.
