So 593 employees are being terminated, including 20 pilots and a little less than 100 FA’s.
United is working around 2,000 religious and medical exemptions. I honestly don’t believe there is any reasonable accommodation that would allow a pilot to remain a pilot. I agree that offering them a remote position (if qualified) at that pay (ie, reservation agent) is about the only reasonable accommodation that works for pilots.
I wonder how long before the balance of those pilots included in the 2,000 total employees are removed from the pilot seniority list.

Amongst the pilots that were among those granted an accommodation what would prevent them from flying domestically if they are already in a NB position? I don’t understand how being unvaccinated prevents them from doing their job. The system that we have under the LOA seems to be working pretty well.

This will be decided by a judge.

Why did it go away? Was it a date or a metric was met? That’s unfortunate because it might have provided some leverage where management would need to engage with Alpa.
