I ve been a mod. And an admin for that matter. Have had that experience and I agree. But there are better ways than badgering long standing posters.

Can that feature be adjusted to a certain post number so new posters get it but over, say, twenty posts it no longer applies?

I'll try to find it, actually I think one of the admins bumped that timer up that during the early days of covid to try to cool off some of the friction happening here. We're exempt, so we don't notice the nuisance.

currently Piedmont pilots don't get paid time off. We get drop no pay or can use our sick time for the vaccination if the 48 period interrupts your flight schedule. We work 4 on 2 off schedules so must trips are impacted.

There's no precedent where somebody who chooses not to meet professional requirements gets paid to stay home, and somebody else has to cover their trip.
Kind of like expecting to get paid for dropped trips because you didn't show up for recurrent, or renew your medical.
If the places your airline flies to require a vaccine, that's a job requirement, not an option... there are fleets which do essentially nothing BUT international. Are those guys supposed to be pay and seat protected, and just take the rest of their careers off with pay??? I don't WANT my union trying to support that kind of stupidity (which will of course ultimately come out of the pockets of those who actually do show up to work).

Although not applicable at all to many of you, age 65 is a limitation in a growing number of countries (most of Europe, some Caribbean) for Parts 91K and 135 and my employer accommodates the 300-ish pilots on our seniority list over that age by not assigning them flights to those destinations. If those same countries imposed proof of vaccination for entry and a pilot hasn’t taken the needle, why shouldn’t the company have to make the same accommodation?
