Bottom line is that we are very likely going to be flying to places that require it. Their country, their rules.
When that happens it will ultimately force the company's hand.

JNJ. Not sure about high dose.
I don’t think fdx will require it, (hoping not), reason….I think lawyers run the show here, and unless they are 100% positive there’s no risk to the company, they don’t want to take that on.
Also, they don’t require flu shots, yellow fever, etc…so why require this?

I think it will end up being a mishmash with Europe being mostly if not all open and ASIA mostly closed as it seems many of those countries have dug in!

I saw his point but was skeptical until Australia made a huge deal about a infection a couple of months ago by our aircrews.

I'm not saying it happens but I promise you that if it was a decision from legal's standpoint there's no downside to forcing everyone.
