Cutting corners has become the American way.
airlines still requiring the vax?
don’t worry, we’re hiring more minorities!!
They are learning that once you stab employees in the back, its unlikely they will ever trust you again.
Just like all the hospitals that fired nurses for not getting the HIV jab, now find themselves understaffed and have to “import” thousands of foreigners to pick up the slack.
Maybe the airliners will do the same thing with foreign pilots. What could go wrong, especially if those pilots are all from Saudi Arabia. /spit
I wonder how many were lost due to the vaxx mandates? Just one more in a long line of policy decisions from Biden that are screwing up everything in this country.
I used to only fly Delta. Now I refuse to fly at all.
“once you stab employees in the back, its unlikely they will ever trust you again.”
Once you treat employees like prisoners in a Mengele concentration camp, they will never trust you again....
There are a LOT of muzzies(SPIT!) who’d be willing to fly those planes.
Bound to work out well.
My brother has been an airline captain for decades. This last year he has been grounded multiple times by FAA medical examiners because his heart has become swollen and inflamed and his aorta began bulging. Each time the airline has sent him to out of state FAA medical examiners who have approved him to go back to work. And yes, the mandated “vaccines” and boosters seem to be the source of the difficulty.
His hobbies include horses and cows but he is selling off all the cows because he was told not to throw hay bales around or exert himself in any way. Ironically, he tested positive for Covid recently, but was told to go back to work after 7 days regardless of whether his cold like symptoms had gotten better.
At this point in time airliners basically can take-off, fly enroute, and land with little input from the pilots. So whether having one or both of the pilots possibly on death’s door may or may not be a threat to public safety. But the FAA and Airlines are twisting the medical requirements into pretzels.
This title is not really true. My son flies for United and ONE of the main problems is the shortage of “FAA check airmen” for the final “airmen check rides” or “Fly alongs”. He was being paid for 3 months sitting at home waiting for his an FAA airman. He had several other pilot friends that were waiting 4-6 months... Once that was done he was finally put on the schedule but more of an “on call” basis.
Just raise fares until you’re filling the flights that can be properly crewed. The low fare flyers will eventually cull themselves from the market. Full planes at higher fares, well qualified crews. I’m fine with that.
I am a retired military pilot with an ATP. I applied to Southwest a couple of weeks ago and they wouldn’t even look at my application without the clot shot. Its on the first page of the application.
Jet fuel will triple the cost of flying which will cure this problem.
Not a good idea IMO.
