We can drop if there is adequate coverage, but in normal times, there is never adequate coverage. We can advertise trips for others to pick up though. It’s hard for a 4 day to get picked up, but the senior pilots can easily get their productive 1 and 2 day trips picked up.

In addition to the premium pay pickup possibility, someone might do this to get a holiday off that they are too junior to get off in the bid. i.e. Pickup a vax-required trip over Christmas knowing that it'll be dropped and you'll be off. By blocking those days it makes it more difficult to replace the lost pay.

More importantly the company can put AV days on to prevent exactly this.

My bidding strategy as an unvaxed pilot is to bid desirable trips L- and above, using completion mode to roll the dice on undesirable trips vs. DNF days. If I really care about particular days off I'll have to tag those undesirable trips as L-- in an attempt to avoid completion mode. The blocker for pickups probably isn't DNF, but FAR 117's 100 in 672.

Not happy with the LOA but I think I can live with it. If it sucks I can always revisit the vaccine with 20/20 hindsight. 13 hours of pay would be nice but just like I don't have to pick up every 200% transcon in open-time, I don't have to knee jerk an irreversible non-fda approved medication either. I downloaded some VAERS data, but having no experience weighing it I put it down. IMHO it's worth 13 hours of pay to let the experts run the numbers and put their stamp of approval on the drug.

I've never had so much peer pressure to take a drug, honestly. Also, getting paid to do something good for myself sounds too good to be true. You know how that figures.

can’t wait for full fda approval because then you will see all businesses including united require it. No more excuse

As I said, I've never before experienced so much peer pressure to take a drug.

I don't think they can assign AV days if you are dropped w/o pay but I could be wrong.
