Unvaccinated options
I’m a 52 year old guy with lots of 91 / 135 and 121 time in various aircraft that is about to be let go because I choose to remain unvaccinated.
I was browsing the forum to see if anyone had started a thread yet discussing employment options for the conscientious objectors to mandatory jabs.
Seems like the airlines are attempting 100% compliance.
I’m going to accept the termination or whatever comes my way.
might need work soon!

Buy your own plane. Start your own 135 operation. As long as you keep it under 100 employees and don’t bid on government contracts, you’re golden. Yes, these are the times we are living in. Government controls your life now.

To expand on my post, do you have solid corporate experience in large cabin types (GLF or BBD, perhaps BBJ)? You might at a very long shot, find an owner similarity disposed, but it’d be 1: 1,000,000. The mandate is going to drive the outcomes and I wouldn’t get weekly testing will be an acceptable way forward. Businesses won’t pay for it; they won’t accept the legal and financial risk; and it won’t be possible for travel outside the US.

And find customers willing to do business under your terms. Charter is very competitive and, while times are good, that’s not forever. Charter is 30% over pre-COVID times. Customers want assurance of privacy and COVID safety.

I hope you are single and not the breadwinner for a family who are counting on your current (good?) income. It's commendable that some will fall on their sword for what they believe in, regardless of the sacrifice. Someone will fill your shoes, your employer with not miss a beat and life will go on.

Best of luck to the OP. I personally chose to get out of flying when covid started due to base realignments that would have caused commuting to create an unacceptably poor quality of life. I want to get back into flying as of now, but won't be taking a vaccine for a virus that I already had with mild symptoms, and that most people recover from the same way. There are plenty of those of us out there who agree with you, and if we all say enough is enough they'll be forced to deal with our existence whether they like it or not. Again, best of luck, we need more people such as yourself!
Also, here's something that you won't see on CNN and the fact checkers on social media would say is "missing context".

Congress is only “exempt” in the sense that the Executive Branch can’t establish rules for the other two branches; both houses of Congress have exclusive control over their rules of procedure. If you read the link you would have known that, Mr. Madison.
I agree that the Executive Branch at the Federal level has no power to enforce this mandate, but states unquestionably have that power and it’s settled law. Every state has long hel mandates for vaccinations.
