Like where? Which airlines are not requiring the vaccine? Or maybe you mean we could just learn to code or simply retire like yourself? So many easy choices, right? Let them eat cake?

*Note: 61,000 truck driver positions open at this moment. Ever since increasing regulations, etc. (not advocating there shouldn’t have been a driving limit of some sort) there has been a drove of truckers leaving the industry due to the additional gov/company strains in place. Automation in play already, eventually that last info won’t matter someday.

Fleetwise, 777-300F's still on the horizon. More 747s certainly an option but prices are high for used frames.

First of all there is no data base of vaccines. Vaccine records are not sent to the local Health Department. I received my vaccine at a testing facility. Second, the vaccine is safe. You want to disagree? I respect your opinion and will leave you to the consequences of that action.
The federal government has mandated vaccines for companies the size of K4. You don’t have a legal argument there. That leaves you with several options that come to mind. One, you could invoke a religious objection. Two, you could make a health objection. Three, you could falsify the document. If you think for one second that K4 is going to verify something that is not verifiable you haven’t worked at K4 long enough. There is no requirement for verification and they will not be verifying anything.
K4 is simply following the rules set down by the Biden Administration. Why would they try to verify cards when there is no requirement to do so. So that they can catch somebody and then not have them available to operate a flight? Really? How long have you worked there? Another point is that people have analyzed their risk associated with death but yet they don’t take the time to research the risk of getting caught not complying? Is that because this is the first time somebody has mentioned forging a document. I guess for some people if it hasn’t appeared on the internet then it must not be true.
For the record, I am not advocating forging a document. I am advocating that everybody get a vaccine. I am also an advocate of personal choice. Kind of reminds me of when the Catholics were being persecuted when they admitted that they were Catholic. Eventually they wised up and said that they weren’t.
To answer Gollum. Why do I care I am retired? I care because I don’t like seeing you guys panic over something that is very simple to resolve. This conspiracy theory that Kalitta or a government agency would actually take the time to verify the millions of employees around the country that are submitting vaccine cards is ludicrous. You do remember how the last election went don’t you?

They will be hiring for the foreseeable future on all aircraft types. If you get the 767 god help you. Though they are holding off on interviews because they are bogged down with training until March they said on the last "All call"

There has been hiring for the foreseeable future since the DEC ‘16 contract. The turnover is almost equal between those leaving and those coming. ‘18-‘20 the hiring was greater than the attrition. Don’t forget they just threw 40 pilots out on the street in DEC. There are way too many options with all the hiring to go ACMI unless your a glutton for punishment.
