Take yourself out of the picture for a second and envision trying to argue this in front of the Supreme Court. “It’s a personal decision that you’re making of your own free will. Of course we’ll fire you if you make the wrong decision but it’s a personal decision, free will and all”.

Sorry doesn’t pass the smell test. Phrases like under duress come to mind.

I don’t work at United but this effects all of us in the industry. I want to know how many of you are planning to lawyer up?

Lol this argument is so stupid I don't even know where to begin. You may feel comfortable accepting the consequences personally, but many people aren't. It stops becoming a personal decision when your employer will fire you for deciding wrong.

That's like saying you have a choice to speak out against the government in China. You'll be jailed but decisions have consequences.

Hopefully all of them. Remember when a big block of CAL pilots tried to sue ALPA over seniority list? Law firms need their fees!

You mean like when they say masks help prevent the spread masks help prevent the spread masks help prevent the spread masks help prevent the spread? I think they just keep trying to reword it cause some people just don’t seem to understand. If I were the CDC, I would’ve given up a long time ago so kudos to them for trying. Anyway, I’m just a sheep so don’t listen to me. Carry on...

According to CNBC, 90% of UAL pilots are already vaccinated and 80% of flight attendants. There may be surprisingly minimal pushback from ALPA and above the wing folks.

"nObOdy Is FoRcEd, YoU cAn LeAve."

This is the response of a disgusting person with no regard for their fellow pilots. An entire life's work hinging on one shot. Show a little humanity.


You should try not to make everything political. Its a tired argument. I care about everyone I work with and I want them all to prosper. The vaccine has nothing to do with it, the passengers don't care. Go look at the TSA screening numbers since the government has been trying to scare everyone about the delta variant.
Okay. I won’t make things “political”. You should try and do the same.

If that is true then why are they pushing this? Let the people who don’t want it fly domestic. This seems like a PR stunt (at your expense).

You definitely are a sheep because you missed the part where they said.

"Masks are theatre they don't do anything"
"Just 2 weeks to flatten the curve"
"actually wait masks aren't theatre we lied about that"
"We flattened the curve but 2 more months"
"Just until the vaccine"
"New variants will emerge forever but we need to lockdown for this one"
> YOU ARE HERE
"This lockdown will only last 2 weeks"
