You'd rather be a guinea pig for a virus that still has many unknown qualities? Okay. There's a greater chance of Covid killing you than the vaccine killing you. There's also a chance that you will survive it only to have long term effects that will prematurely end your career.


I'll take (have already taken the first dose of) an "experimental" vaccine over an "experimental" virus that is still killing thousands every day.

 

Here is a joke I just thought of...

Why do Spirit pilots like to drive Miatas?

 

I died laughing the other day in FLL when a yellow Miata hauled past me!

 

Welcome to Spirit Mulligan. Congrats on the job offer!

First thing you need to know is Halon is our resident troll. Don’t feed the troll.

 

I think we know the "qualities" of this virus after a year. If you are in reasonable health and able to get an FAA medical, your chances of dying from it are very, very low. I know, I've already had it and my experience was like a normal cold but much shorter. Maybe you've been watching the news and bought in to the media narrative hook, line and sinker. Why haven't you bid EIL and quarantined at home if your fear level is so high would be my question.

 

Stomper, ironic you are welcoming him to Spirit. You don’t even seem to enjoy a lot of the people you work with at Spirit. You said it so yourself on another tread.

750 flights a day thread:

“The biggest unintended benefit of this pandemic is that it has exposed just how many morons I work with.”

 

I am unsure why it has to be this way. It seems that if you have any concern over COVID, the answer is to always lock yourself up in a hole. I think you can a healthy respect for it and still do your job. I too know several people who caught it, some had no side effects, some where mild, some are still dealing with lasting problems from it. Sadly, I know some who died from complications from it.

The ones that still are dealing with lasting problems ironically are two of the healthiest people I know, both runners and in very good shape. They struggle mostly with their lung function be much less than pre-covid.

Anyway, lets just all try and respect each other with this and realize people all experience it different. I chose to get the vaccine and feel good about it, granted it was the new JJ one so less "new" technology in it.

 

I'm sorry. I'll try not to be so stupid next time I post.

 

heeheehee..

 

Looks like we’re invading the MAT. And did I read it right, LGA-LAX?? I thought there was a restriction on the distance flights could go out of LGA, or is that now gone?
