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.

The ones that may be terminated either did not request a reasonable accommodation or did not meet whatever threshold was established for a valid request.

This will be decided by a judge.

understood. More than likely that’s Either party could give 30 day notice. Ours goes away when WHO declares pandemic over. Which is some leverage as right now they still have to cover unvaxxed sick leave. Sounds like you might have more than one pandemic Loa?

“reasonable accommodation” doesn’t require the employee (pilot) to fill same job position or require company to use pilot pay scales… they’ll probably be offered call center positions that stay at home or unpaid leave. There has to be a pilot on here that has been approved… bueller?
