“You say that as if the people in command have all the knowledge and answers and are 100% correct and truthful...”
I guess I need to apologize. It appears I haven’t made my point with you. What I said is that the people in command are in charge, they have decided the vaccines are safe and to be used, the pilots committed through contract and their sworn oath that they would follow the orders of their superiors if they are determined safe, and the pilots broke that oath by determining not to use the vaccines in violation of that order. Whether the military is 100% correct, which is impossible as everyone has an opinion whether they know all of a situation or not, and truthful, which can also be an opinion, the action doesn’t mean anything to this function.
For what they are being discharged for, isn’t in that mix.
It doesn’t make any difference how many of those pilots are doctors with lab facilities, but they are one of the two entities in a position to determine if they are going to cease their career as pilots. They made a choice that is headed that way because it hasn’t a thing to do with the vaccines. It has to do with their making the wrong decision on the validity of the order that is not consistent with the military. So they are failing to follow the order. And that’s not medical, it’s challenging authority. And it doesn’t make any difference whether the vaccine is safe or not in their minds. They are not being discharged for the their opinions on the vaccines. It would help you if you looked on it in black and white and not gray.
In this country, you can make choices like this. I can choose anything I wish as long as I’m willing to be responsible for the ramification. If I choose to run my car over a cliff, not in it, then I’m on foot. But if I get paid in advance a large amount of money and I promise to do the work to be paid for it, and don’t because I don’t like the conditions, then I get fired and either pay them back or possibly get nailed in a lawsuit.
The pilots have had more money spent on them in training than most ever see in their lifetime. They are paid far better than a vast majority of people in a dangerous job like them in most cases likje police and fire. And all they are being asked to do is follow the order or leave. But they want to stay while not following the order. Who put them in charge? The answer to that is they did when they decided to countermand the order and decided to be put back into the civilian world. They appear to want to do the things in the job they like to do. No legitimate job works like that. So unless you run the business, you take orders on who, when and how. They don’t own the business, so they decided they didn’t want to work for it.
My last words.
