Without the Travel Measures MOU, The Company cannot build bid period package trips with Operational Jumpseats. With fewer trips comes fewer lines, and then more trips have to be built using the process you described. Maybe people would pick those trips up out of Open Time at Draft or Volunteer, or maybe they wouldn't.
But you make a great case for how valuable this ability (to build bidpack trips) must be to The Company. All those perks enjoyed by pilots who never have to touch Asia, never have to be confined to hotel room after hotel room, never have to share the cockpit and supernumerary area of a B-777 (which is part of the cockpit on the B-777) with 5 other jumpseaters on a 7-hour leg, cost The Company money. A lot of money. And yet, The Company continues to give us that money because the ability to build bidpack trips with Operational Jumpseats must be more valuable to them than the money they're spending on the benefits we enjoy.

Remember when the company forgot to tell you about the testing that was going on in your hotel rooms for Covid in Asia. Adding huge risk to pilots being quarantined in substandard facilities down range. They forgot to tell you they knew that for months. I’m sure you think that was accidental also.

According to the most recent FCIFs, I doubt the company or crew force will have a choice of disclosing vaccination status in the near future. It’s already required for some hotel check-in. To complicate things even more your vaccine now expires 9 months after your last shot if you’re going to MXP. I feel most countries will go in that direction.
