Every pilot has to get a medical exam done at least every 12 months. First officers for airlines who are over 40 have to get one every six months.
One of the conditions that triggers an automatic failure of their medical is myocarditis. Myocarditis is a potential side effect of the vaccine that Biden is pressuring companies to mandate. It is especially prevalent in men who get the shot. 95.6% of airline pilots are men.
So what this boils down to is that they are trying to force people to take a shot, no matter if they need it or not, that has the potential to end these pilot’s career.
Yes, obviously dying of Covid would end their career as well. However, if you have a 35 year old male pilot who had Covid already & recovered, the odds of having an adverse reaction to the vaccine are significantly higher than contracting Covid again and dying from it.
You just can’t justify forcing them to gamble with their career like that. They should all walk out. #HoldTheLine
