Unless the employees want to keep their principals intact and decide a nice Pt 135 or 91 outfit that doesn't require forceful vaccination is where they want to go instead.

They could, but there seems to be more bad corporate gigs than good ones , part 91/135 jobs typically aren’t that stable, and flying for a regional is about the fastest way out there to really crank out the hours and build a resume.

The vast majority of pilots got vaccinated because they wanted to. Their principles lead them to realize that the risk from covid far outweigh those from the shot. Many of those voicing the loudest opposition about the mandates are already vaccinated but they’re against a mandate.

That remains to be seen.

It's a risk to take the shot, it's also a risk not to take the shot. But people should be able to make their own choices about their own risk tolerance and their own bodies.

No, I unfortunately had the bug BEFORE being vaccinated and most likely the majority of the population had the virus well before the shot. I’m in my 20’s, already contracted the virus, the shot was completely useless, but hey I got my little white card.

My “principles” were the same as most, to be financially safe, get vaccinated incase it becomes a mandatory requirement. Honestly I never figured our own government would pull this socialist like stunt, but I figured every socialist/communist country I flew into would require it, so I got it done early.

That’s an understatement. They’re already hurting for pilots. That would just be the nail in the coffin.

So is there a significant number of regional pilots who are opposed to the vaccine that plan on being regional lifers? Pretty much all of the top pay companies that regional pilots seek to gain employment from require the applicant to be fully vaccinated as a condition for employment consideration. I suppose that some will choose not to get vaccinated, just like some choose not to get a degree, and then complain for years about how everyone else gets hired at desirable companies.

I call BS, but if true, it will go a long way towards solving the regional staffing issues. A legacy would love to have a group of experienced pilots at their regionals with nowhere to go.
