Has OSHA actually issued that Emergency Temporary Standard yet?
And what about THIS mandate for a Texas based company?
Let’s be honest here, the airline managements hoped that 100% vaccination rates would be a PR coup and bring the pax back. Instead it threatens to be a multimillion dollar boondoggle and legal nightmare. Maybe they ought to rethink it.
