United Airlines pilot says she's blocked from finding job or accessing 401k for refusing vaccine
FOX Business ^ | 1/26/2022 | Emma Colton

I am prohibited from getting another job. I'm prohibited from accessing my 401(k),' one United pilot says.

A United Airlines captain who is on unpaid leave for not complying with her company’s vaccine mandate says she has been locked out of her 401(k) and is prohibited from finding another job.

"I am out on unpaid leave. I am prohibited from getting another job. I'm prohibited from accessing my 401(k). I have no medical benefits, and I'm leading the charge in this fight, so my days are consumed," United pilot Sherry Walker, co-founder of Airline Employees 4 Health Freedom, told the Daily Signal while attending the "Defeat the Mandates" march in Washington, D.C., on Sunday.

....

she is considered an "active employee" after being put on unpaid leave for not complying with the airline’s vaccine mandate in November.

"That means that they can call us back with two weeks' notice at any given time, they can just grab us and pull us back. But because we're active, we haven't had a qualified lifestyle change. So Schwab, which owns our 401(k) accounts, refuses to let anyone access them," Walker told Fox.

...

Walker, who has been flying since she was 18 and has worked in the industry since 1998, is spearheading the fight against the vaccine mandates among airline employees, including with a legal battle.

"While we believe our employer has the right to have a mandate, they are obligated under Title VII to give us reasonable accommodations. And right now we're fighting in the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans to wait a judgment to see if we will succeed in a preliminary injunction or if we will continue on the unreasonable accommodation of indefinite unpaid leave

Evil has consumed every sector of society. Only GOD’S intervention will save us. PRAY!

Wouldn’t she be better off formally resigning from this job?
If she has no health insurance and no access to her retirement money, what good is that ‘job’?
I don’t think this is legal, but there may not be may lawyers willing to work Pro Bono on a complex case like this.
It’s absolutley crazy and UnAmerican that she ‘can’t get another job’.

trying to coerce them to quit so they can’t sue. They’ll say the pilot simply chose to leave. Put the spotlight on United and start a class action lawsuit. Start pushing for a strike.

Pilots and other air crew travel to lots of places and meet lots of people. I don’t blame United for wanting all their employees vaccinated.

My father was stationed at a SAC base in the 1950’s. Everyone on base not just the flight crews were required to have worldwide shots.

And the pilot's union is doing ... what, exactly? What is she getting for the chunk of her salary she has given her "representation" every single paycheck?

Unions are useless, soulless, money-sucking entities. And they are totally onboard with the clot shots and signed on with Xiden's mandates.

I will never forgive the airline union for coming after me with threats after I was furloughed. I was living on Ramen noodles and they still wanted their payment every month. Bastards.

I don’t blame pilots, who know the statistics of pilots suddenly dropping dead from the vaxx, opting not to get one.

You are lucky they did not break your leg. Or have their goon squad work you over. Or maybe put a bomb in your car wired to the ignition.

You do realize the vaxx does nothing to stop transmission, so what’s the point? Comply or die?

I don’t blame unied for wanting to kill their emloyees with an experimental DNA altering poison.

That is true. There is a spiritual battle going on all around us, and our best weapon is prayer.

It might not stop transmission, but it does decrease it and decrease the length of illness. Also pilots often have to travel across international borders. Most countries have much easier entry requirements for people who are fully vaccinated than those who are not. It’s impossible for a pilot to work if 2 weeks of isolation are required for any unvaccinated person who enters a county but vaccinated people can enter without restriction.

mRNA vaccines can't write to DNA. They can only instruct ribosomes to manufacture proteins.

*** mRNA vaccines can’t write to DNA. They can only instruct ribosomes to manufacture proteins. ***

There is a small chance that the mRNA and DNA vaccines can alter your genes.

Adenoviral Vector DNA- and SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-Based Covid-19 Vaccines: Possible Integration into the Human Genome - Are Adenoviral Genes Expressed in Vector-based Vaccines?

Abstract

Vigorous vaccination programs against SARS-CoV-2-causing Covid-19 are the major chance to fight this dreadful pandemic. The currently administered vaccines depend on adenovirus DNA vectors or on SARS-CoV-2 mRNA that might become reverse transcribed into DNA, however infrequently. In some societies, people have become sensitized against the potential short- or long-term side effects of foreign DNA being injected into humans. In my laboratory, the fate of foreign DNA in mammalian (human) cells and organisms has been investigated for many years. In this review, a summary of the results obtained will be presented. This synopsis has been put in the evolutionary context of retrotransposon insertions into pre-human genomes millions of years ago. In addition, studies on adenovirus vector-based DNA, on the fate of food-ingested DNA as well as the long-term persistence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA/DNA will be described. Actual integration of viral DNA molecules and of adenovirus vector DNA will likely be chance events whose frequency and epigenetic consequences cannot with certainty be assessed. The review also addresses problems of remaining adenoviral gene expression in adenoviral-based vectors and their role in side effects of vaccines. Eventually, it will come down to weighing the possible risks of genomic insertions of vaccine-associated foreign DNA and unknown levels of vector-carried adenoviral gene expression versus protection against the dangers of Covid-19. A decision in favor of vaccination against life-threatening disease appears prudent. Informing the public about the complexities of biology will be a reliable guide when having to reach personal decisions about vaccinations.

I worked for them for eight and a half years. Shitty back in the ‘90’s. I can’t imagine it now

It does not stop transmission (no ‘might’),
It might decrease it,
It might decrease the length of illness.
And I suspect the ‘might’ is really ‘does not’.

Yep, and then y’all bought us (Continental). I got out before the merger went through. I worked for Smisek briefly so I knew it wasn’t going to get better. So, perhaps we gave UA Smisek but we got Chicago and what came with it.

And how do you know that which you read on the internet is true?
