Seems to be a divide amongst airliners who will require the jab and those who don't. This will be entertaining as hell if we end up with pro-jab airlines and no-jab airlines. Still won't get on a plane. [link to airlinegeeks.com (secure)] "When the coronavirus became a global pandemic in the winter of 2020, airlines globally were devastated by plummeting passenger counts. Carriers lost tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars daily, and many were counting the days until a vaccine was approved so that passengers could be inoculated and would subsequently feel comfortable traveling again. Yet eight months after the first vaccines were granted emergency authorization in the U.S., only half of the country is fully vaccinated, and there is a noticeable split between people who rushed to get a shot and those who stand strong against ever receiving a dose. This split poses a number of problems for airlines, most the most visible being that waves of virus infections will continue to pop up among people who aren’t vaccinated, making government leaders hesitant to lift restrictions and open borders. However, a new problem is beginning to rise: the split between airlines who will require employees to be vaccinated and the carriers who will not."
