Qantas Pilot Had Enough / Mandates

Post by WhataYoke »

https://rumble.com/vm6tgd-qantas-pilot- ... ndate.html

A senior Qantas pilot made a video based on ridiculous Vax mandates implemented down under. Now, we're in the same boat up here. What options do we have as pilots when your operation has mandated vaccines for work? From what I understand its No jab no Job.

I like Australia for its very assertive approach to things.

Compulsory voting. Widespread smoking bans which include in your own vehicle if there are children inside. And compulsory vaccinations for public school attendance.

I don’t see these pilots getting very far. Literally.

As it should be (barring a medical reason). Do the pilots complain about wearing seat belts too? Or uniforms?

Comparing a semi-permanent effect of a vaccine to a temporary one (wearing a seat belt) won't help to understand the other side of the argument. A more honest comparison would be wearing a seatbelt vs wearing a mask. Downside is that there is a bit of a discomfort, upside that it is a bit safer. And it's both legally required in some parts of the world.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

All crew need to vaccinated in order for Canadian Airlines to survive. It is for the safety of crews and passengers, without vaccines the travel industry will never recover. One can not separate vaccines from travel anymore.

The main point here however is rumble.com is not a news source it is a right wing cesspool full of dangerous lies.

That’s the thing. The airline and travel industry will recover. It’s just whether they choose to be a part of it or not.

40 years ago last month, Ronald Reagan fired over 11,000 air traffic controllers who thought they weren’t replaceable.
