Or is it ok now to make it a condition of employment to sleep with your boss? You can just quit your job right, what's the problem?
you are the one associating a one second poke with a tiny instrument with "sleeping with the boss", not me

Nice job totally ignoring the argument being made.

I routinely finish a trip without even knowing the other persons vaccine status.. If it does come up most of the time it's because your are wanting to brag about how much time you got off using our vaccine LOA. I guess if/when AA tries to make the vaccine mandatory we will see some true colors. But from my experience both the pro-vax and no-vax camps seem to be in agreement that it should be an individuals choice...anyways I thing mandating it or lose your job is crazy, and I got the vax.
nah dude. This is a group 6 guys that can’t push away from the inter webs and refuse to not get the last word. Some of them don’t even work here. I’m unvaccinated and fly the triple. My experience has been 1 of 3 responses:

1. You turned down the money?
2. This mandate is BS, hope your exemption is approved.
3. I’ll slip you my vaccine card under the table at the hotel lobby so you can get free drinks.

aside from like 6 people out of 13000 no one is an actual dick about it in the cockpit.

on the bright side I got my exemption approved immediately after they announced that if I accept it I’ll be placed on unpaid leave. Since I’m not independently wealthy I’ll be turning the reasonable accommodation down and getting vaccinated in the next 2 weeks.

hopefully soon we can turn our insults back to the scabs instead of the unvaccinated. 😉

I love when people make completely unequal comparisons with straight faced seriousness and dub themselves logical.

30% lethal, forced vaccination okay! So if covid was 10% lethal you would be okay with forced vaccination? How about 5%? I thought it was the principle, but apparently it's not.

They and 99% of the population don’t need to. Kids are twice are as likely to die of the flu in a third of the same time span as covid. If you think kids should be locked up and/or wear masks for covid, but not for flu… you’re a hypocrite. Math is now apparently a conspiracy theory

I’m realizing you’re not too quick on the uptake. That was what some might call sarcasm or humor but for you it is a trigger. You are like Pavlov’s dog every post on your horse dewormer must be responded to with a tired and far too often repeated response. It isn’t even a challenge to get you all spooled up and so good luck convincing the masses. What’s your next stop a sports or a car forum?Either way it’s one more group that can’t wait for you to spread your Ivermectin gospel! 🤦‍♂️

Dont worry. I got the joke. It just misses the mark when you come across as someone who thinks kids need to be sheltered from society. If you don’t believe that then I apologize.

I’d rather see people die and we stay free. Forced vaccinations is anti American from my understanding of the constitution and our forefathers hopes. I’m willing to die, so others aren’t forced to be vaccinated, that’s how I see it. I personally believe in vaccines including this one, but compulsion is not inline with freedom. I believe there is no risk worth sacrificing freedom for and this one is not proving to be worth the attitude too many have taken in response.

I wholeheartedly agree. Even if a doctor gave me 1 day to live and he said we could give you this miracle drug that will erase your symptoms immediately, but you can only have it if we let the government and private businesses have complete control over everyone’s life… I’d tell him, “nope!! Just pull the plug then”.

Plus, if this was Ebola you wouldn’t have to mandate it. Pretty sure 99% of everyone would be scared enough to get the shot even if it had 10x the side effects of these vaccines.

Earlier this year, I was actually contemplating getting the vaccine when it was available for my age group. Now, with every new restriction, it makes me not want to get it even more. To motivate people to get the shot they’re being very counterproductive. Although, I guess it doesn’t matter if you’re gonna be forced one or another. I have a feeling the goalposts will be moved at least another 5 times and we still won’t be any better off than we were before.
