America say no women pilots or no back [sic] pilots, that may elevate one's sex or race to the level of corporate inconvenience currently demonstrated by religion. At that point it would be legal to fire based on sex and race, no? And all that based on what other countries are doing.
Honest question: Why should people already on the property be held to a lesser standard?

True. I now know many captains that feel like they were forced into getting a vaccine to prevent a disease they already had and it's clearly not working to prevent. 6.2 billion doses given worldwide. 7.5 billion people. Here we are still with travel restrictions, still testing left and right, still worried about spiking etc, people still wearing stupid ass masks etc. Nowhere close to normal. Guess how much those captains will be working to fix anything from now on?.....I for one don't give a damn about the company I work for anymore. I'll work here long enough to get as much money from it as possible. I'll go out of my way to fix nothing that's not my responsibility. These captains will fly as slow or as fast as they like. And no, they won't quit. They'll go home happy knowing they made 40k this month and didn't lift a finger to fix any issues for this rotten ass woke political company. BTW, I'm not miserable at work. I enjoy just about all the people I work with and the flying. Our management and leadership have disrespected us.. CORE4 doesn't involve forcing your people to do things medically they don't need nor want. The other airlines have not gone down this path. I guess we'll see, but I don't think they will.

Speaking of safety, we’ve now had potentially two pilots lose certs/ lives due to GA in the past week; should we now mandate personal safety too and forbid high risk activities? Have we lost two pilots to Covid in any given week?

Exactly! Well beyond Kirby’s departure this will be the mantra of many for years and decades to come.

The thing that the new blood always forgets is that today’s tired burnout was yesterday’s energetic new hire. COVID and the company mandate are just another swing of the pendulum between rapid expansion and recession, furloughs, bankruptcies, mergers, delayed contracts, and pandemics. In time our new hires will get there and the next generation will be questioning their attitudes. I always look out for crew members and passengers and honestly try to follow SOP’s, but I also understand that we’re all just interchangeable widgets and that being a pilot is just a job. Once a person figures that out, this turns into a great job that provides good money, good schedules, and very little stress. This is just the latest chapter in the same old book that we’ve been reading for decades.

I shouldn’t counter your post because all you do is delete mine, whenever you disagree and decide to censor. How is it reasonable to put them on unpaid leave (due to being unsafe and unable to work as they have for the past 18 months) when the dozens of other airlines have no such mandate and yet their pilots are still safely flying? It’s all about safety right?

Is GA risk somehow contagious now?
