Yes they were, which is why I said a court would have to decide given that the scenario is unprecedented. The prevailing internet legal opinion on the outcome of such a case seems to be that they would also would not be held liable, though, since private companies do not certify the safety of vaccines.

The question has been reviewed a lot on legal sites.

Who is going to resign instead of getting the vaccine?

Anyone?

No?

Ok, that's what I thought

Damn, more action here today than when UAL stated intentions to hire minorities. (Based on the fact that only 10% are unvaccinated, the conversation shows what a skewed demographic are here on the forums.) Oh, and spoiler alert: very few will actually walk away from the job. Like maybe single digits. All talk here…

My prediction is that this is going to turn into a 1,500++ post circle jerk followed by another 1,000 post circle jerk arguing about what should have been after every single pilot buckles and takes the jab rather than face termination.

Right, which is why I said with or without FDA approval. October 25th deadline, with or without FDA approval.

I get that FDA approval is highly likely, but it is not guaranteed by that October 25th date.

I already said way back that I would be leaving if my company mandates it. Sad that it may come to that, but I will not be coerced against my will to take something with unknown long-term effects, not to even mention my religious objections (not that the company will care, as control is their religion). How “inclusive” of them… They love to run their lips about how “Our differences are our strength,” but then when someone doesn’t tow the mainstream media’s line, they seek to destroy that person. Great job Kirby.

Are you an adult male? Because you sound like an angsty teen.

It won't be without FDA approval. "The timing of United's mandate is linked to the FDA's approval..." (WSJ)
Your initial statement was prefaced with "without having done any research on the subject". I guarantee you Kirby and Co. have done their research.

I have no idea if there will be a long term consequence to the vaccine or not.

Somehow though I figure that all my years at high altitude surrounded by electronic equipment might just be a bigger threat.
