Default “Reasonable Accommodation”

Serious question here… What would you all believe is reasonable accommodation for those who cannot or will not get vaccinated? Should the Company offer them other jobs? For example, at TK, in the CPO, at Willis, ramper?

Testing in lieu of and normal jobs. Seems to be used in a lot of other places. But then again, if you're vaccinated, you can get it too, so I'm not really sure what the point of that would be either other than making people who have a fear of COVID more comfortable.

Company-paid testing at some determined interval, and then get on with your job. Since both vaccinated and unvaccinated can still get and spread the virus, I don’t see the point?? The powers at be need to establish the facts and then work towards the right policies based on those facts; Not try to use those facts and manipulate them in order to get people to do what they want them to do.

Unpaid leave until (& as long as) nationwide transmission rate is below 1.0.

Also temp assignment to remote based work (reservations etc...) at whatever pay that is.

Nothing that violates pilot seniority or would otherwise require MR.

Ok, then what do you do when you’re not allowed to fly into a country because you’re not vaccinated? Also, it could limit where you can divert into in case of medical or mechanical issues. A divert could cause someone who is unvaccinated to be a two week resident at your own expense.

Obviously, if you’re not vaccinated you’d have to be removed from a Global fleet and you’d be forced to fly domestic only.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to start the next vaccine thread after they cleaned it all up.

My opinion is as valid as yours. Statutory and case law are on my side, but it will ultimately be decided by a judge (not you or me).
