You must be a joy to fly with. No one cares about politics. Also what Otto is referring to is 100% correct. According to the CDC all approved vaccines protect the recipient but you can still contract and spread the virus. This is coming from someone who is vaccinated.

If someone were to get sick with Covid or something else during training and had to sit out a few days. Would you have to wait for the next class? Would you lose seniority? I’m assuming only if you get Covid they won’t pay you?

But are you as likely to contract it as an unvaccinated? The answer to that question is a resounding no. Oh and by the way bookings are starting to fall again.

Which is why I find it strange that Mesa is allowing vaccinated people to forgo a test when they’ve been in contact with a crew member or pax that has covid. Because that person can still spread it to others. But I guess if it makes everyone feel better…

The new guidelines(depending on which document any specific doctor has read that day) can range from quarantine 10 days after the beginning of symptoms + 24 hours without a fever or 14 days after the last sign of symptoms. I highly doubt you will get any kind of pay although in training it’s different. Seniority starts when you get your employee I’d I believe. But I could be wrong on that too, I rarely ever check the seniority list

This is easily the dumbest cop out. In a world where all information apparently must come from a tv personality, are the stats only valid if they come from a network that aligns with your political views? While I did get the vaccine, to jump on your high horse and demand everyone get a vaccine that’s not approved by the fda to protect against a disease that has a survivability rate of more than 95% overall and 99% among those not already on their way out solely “to protect grandma” all the while ignoring your own advice and completely disregarding all stats that contradict any sort of mandates made by your elected leaders is just about the dumbest thing imaginable.

tl;dr stop being such a ******ing idiot

I heard Dr. Fauci say behind the Delta variant there will be a new variant that will be deadlier than Delta. Does he have data to support that or is political conjecture?

most viruses naturally overtime become more contagious and less deadly. The goal of any virus is to use the host not kill the host. As of now there’s no structured data available that points to a deadlier variant surfacing.

It’s hard to predict one variant to be more deadlier than the last. But the way these viruses work it would make sense. It’s mutating itself in order to survive. If it can’t find hosts to attach to it will mutate as all things do. In our current situation where ( a guess here) a huge population in the world has had covid it’s probably mutating in order to get past the antibodies that we create on our own. The whole idea of “you’re antibodies only last 3 months so come get the vaccine” is just as incorrect as “the vaccine is going to kill everyone” I spent the entire pandemic following cdc guidelines and got covid recently for the second time because it’s impossible to not come in contact with it in this industry. My 2nd time getting was definitely worse than the first and I still have side effects. So I’m my view cdc guidelines are good, but not perfect. I also believe that everyone should be allowed to make their own educated decisions and live with the consequences of those choices
