A previous employer I worked for had it in the FOM that if your medical required you to use corrective lenses, you had to have a back up/spare set. I don’t claim to be an expert, FAR require it also? No matter, I’ve always carried extra.
Weird, between all the training events there, 6 month PC’s/line checks (probably 20 in total?) only one, ONE needed to see my back up set.
And he was for sure the type that liked to measure…..

I can't imagine an LCA doing it, but the vaccine card is in the FOM as required to carry. I suppose if they felt like it, they could fail you for not having it. That said, I went through Captain upgrade back in November and nobody asked for it the entire training cycle. I even jokingly offered it and the LCA basically just said "Yeah, f that".
Exceeding aircraft limitations or busting FARs is one thing, having your certificate and livelihood fked with for not following some stupid @ss company directive that has nothing to do with aviation safety is opening the door for some real clown world bs.

Thanks CA obvious, it was mostly a joke.

It also says in the FOM you have to wear your hat. If you don't have your hat during the time of the year when it's required, could you fail a line check for that too?

There will ALWAYS be that 10% that has to prove a point- Kinda like the FCC License. Never needed to show it at the "other" Legacy, but here- we do!
or
Kinda like that CCS msg about walk arounds. Who knew that SouthWest wasn't required to do one?

A lot of the new hires hats are on backorder. He'd look like a bigger fool than he already is.

Are you picking up on what I was getting at in my first post? Or just pivoting like a dullard?

exactly… no harm no foul for following the checklist. If it’s in the FoM as a requirement my guess is it’s still company policy to be vaccinated.

I get that some like to measure and try to make small things into a big deal, but simply checking requirements on a list isn’t exactly measuring. Making a spectacle out of it would be a different matter.
