Taxpayers bailed out the airline industry in this country. We still subsidize the industry, if not the individual airlines.
Taxpayers pay for Air Traffic Control Towers
Taxpayers subsidize airports and airport maintenance
Taxpayers subsidize air travel to non-profitable rural communities nationwide
Taxpayers pay for airport security
Taxpayers pay for some airport management
So while Qantas can do whatever it wants, imho, American airline companies should not have the right to require vaccines unless they move to complete autonomy. As long as we're being forced to fund their ability to do business, they're not a private company and shouldn't be allowed discriminate.
Of course, we all know how that plays out in real life.
Well, this is why I'm for full privatization and abolishing the State.
As I mentioned before, I'm not comfortable taking a vaccine that has been so insanely rushed. Not every side effect emerges in a day or two. Some take years. People should not be forced to take a vaccine under an "emergency" order. I would be fine with taking it in a year probably but not now.
Anyone getting a vaccine - don't lose the paperwork. Put paperwork about your vaccine in a safe place and make copies. Learn how to get electronic proof too.
Good for them. I know people are tired of this pandemic and want to travel, but Covid doesn't care. It does what it does as long as it has hosts. I appreciate companies that are taking extra precautions.
You mean like passports and the like? There have always been requirements for certain documents. You have to have ID to vote and drive, you have to have a passport to travel overseas. I'm not sure what the problem is.
More airlines are expected to announce the same restrictions. I realize they are a private company and can enact any rules they want. Still, it seems like overstepping. The vaccine is in its infancy.
If this takes hold for US airlines, I wonder how it will affect the pilots. The FAA bans pilots from taking vaccines that have been in use for less than 1 year and will ground them if they do. So you'd have pilots w/o vaccines flying the planes around yet banned from traveling as a passenger?

Maybe. So far we haven't a heard a peep from them about it.
