Wow idiots. Tanking their own businesses. You’ll be lucky to get half the population to line up and go through With a rushed vaccine. They would be fools if they did
If airlines go through with this, expect the travel industry to shrink DRAMATICALLY...
I doubt it will be lower than it is right now. People are afraid to get covid. Once that fear is gone, people will be likely to fly again... and remember that the ones afraid to get covid are probably going to be the ones getting the vaccine. They're catering to their customer base.
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?
"While there is no published FAA position regarding immunizations, the FAA has suggested that a wait period of as much as 24 hours be utilized to observe any adverse effects."
There's a pretty big precedent for this with yellow fever vaccinations. Plenty of countries require them for all people entering the country or people who have been in a country where yellow fever is present in the past year. Get the jabs, tuck your 'covid card' into your passport next to your yellow fever card and show it when boarding an international flight. (It is going to be displayed as a requirement for entry to most countries in TIMATIC* and no entry level airline employee will override what it says in TIMATIC because that can lead to getting fired)
I also suspect that the covid card is going to be harder to forge than a yellow fever card is.
*TIMATIC is the database all airlines use to check a passenger's entry eligibility and documents into a foreign country. If you're curious about it, United has a public access point here.
There is virtually no Covid here and we’d like to keep it that way. Signed, Australia
