This is the closest that I hope I ever see to a truly global crisis and while the entirety of the world is moving in one direction these forum doctors/lawyers/research-fellows have the key to solving this crisis that not shockingly involves doing everything they want to do and sacrificing nothing. It’s that often misinterpreted religious tenet of be selfish and do whatever you want to do even if it harms your neighbor.

Glad to see we’re at 99%, also glad that those in the 1% without a real medical or religious exemption are about to find out that decisions have consequences! Buh-bye sorry not sorry!

This not only adds more than a "de minimus" cost to United but it is a violation of our UPA in terms of seniority rights. Any reasonable accommodation must not cost the company more money to implement nor can it violate the rights of the other unionized employees within a work group.

I get all that; and overwhelmingly I think where conflicts arise, the burden should fall on the ineligible pilot & not the company. Considering the small number of pilots who fall into this category, though, I think it could be done with relatively little disruption. If not, I could see going so far as restricting said pilots to the Airbus- where the route network has minimal chance for conflict. And yes, some of that could require union consensus.

Understand, I think anyone still holding out is grossly miscalculating the risk/benefit balance of this vaccine- but I do hate to see anyone lose their career over it.

Exactly! Could you imagine trying to organize and fight a real problem with these clowns?

Pro-vax but pro-choice w/ (reasonable) consequences. Regular testing (or proof of anti-bodies from previous infection) at employee expense, plus off without pay for any trip touching a blacklisted destination.

Per the latest ALPA update, looks like we're down to the single digits on the anti-vaxxer holdouts. Can't wait for American and SWA to announce their vaccine mandates to comply with the "federal contractor" Biden mandate. This is gonna be fun to watch. :D
