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.

My thoughts also. How can we operate to countries who require vaccination, but yet not require our crew members to disclose vaccination status. Cant have it both ways. You obviously cant send unvaccinated pilots to those countries so you have to ask. I guess if you say no or not willing to disclose you wont be going to those countries. So now the vaccinated group get rerouted into those countries. This will creat dissent between the vaccinated an unvaccinated. Lets say China starts requiring vaccination with no crew exemption. Now if you are vaccinated you will be on full time China duty while the unvaccinated get to only go to the more opened up countries in Europe. Sounds messy.

It’s just like the China visa fiasco. The company knows who has one and who does not have one so they can make trip revisions ahead of time to protect operational integrity.

I just don’t see that as a a possibility. What happens when a crew arrives at the jet for a flight to Campinas, which now requires full vaccination and a test, RE: todays latest FCIF.

This is out of the company’s hand, they must adhere to protocols implemented by the host countries. Unlike some of the other carriers, the company did not place a vaccine mandate on the crew force, however I think in the near future they might not have a choice just like they don’t have a choice for required visas to certain countries.

What’s the end game when a huge chunk of the crew force isn’t vaccinated but it’s mandated by our destinations? The vaccinated just take it in the ass (more than we’ve all already been for the last two years) while the others sit at home with pay waiting on a substitution flight that’s never coming?

Haa Haa, funny! That alone could put an end to FedEx as we know it. Can you imagine how this would affect the operation? It’s simple just put your vaccination status in. Soon the company might have no choice but to mandate it for crew members if they want to protect their operations. It's just the ugly truth. I’ll bet the lawyers are already putting in some hours in relation to vaccine mandate.
