American and Alaska Airlines, are not going to allow an unvaccinated employee to use sick leave while in the hospital. Their covered due to the insurance, but it will be classified unpaid leave.
United the most abusive of all as they are giving all employees 6 weeks to get the vaccination or face termination procedures.
I am so glad I am away from all the mandated madness. Many of my friends are retiring or taking an early out; others are taking the shot to keep their jobs. Only time will tell who made the right decision.
Captains with a major Airline have seniority and are making around 200,000 a year plus or minus depending on equipment. It is not like you can walk out the door and be a Captain for another airline unless you want to go to some Arab country...
With the airline market the way it is with many all ready laid off and waiting for a recall this picture is not pretty for all concerned. Luckily most of my Captain friends who worked until 65 retired within the last two years; but all the first officers who are now captains are the ones facing the dilemma of what to do. Hard to walk away and leave a good paying job and give up a couple of million in retirement IMO with no future job prospects.
It`s all insane , to demand pilots taking the killer jab. It can jeopardize passanger safety also....
I think it will backfire, once the pilot crew who did take the jab end up sick or die.....then this could turn to situation where there is high demand of pilots , so maybe they will have to pray pilots coming back someday.
I been looking this site to see if something big would start happen....right now it dont show much anything unusual to me
