Did a little digging, now that I had time after posting the above teaser. Here's what I found on the FAA's website.


The Federal Air Surgeon determined that FAA medical certificate holders may not act as pilot in command, or in any other capacity as a required flightcrew member, for 48 hours after each dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. The Federal Air Surgeon made this determination after evaluation of available medical information about these COVID-19 vaccines and potential side effects. As a result of this determination and consistent with 14 CFR § 61.53(a), each person subject to part 67 who receives the vaccine must wait 48 hours after each dose before acting as pilot in command or as a required flightcrew member.

In the event that an FAA medical certificate holder experiences side effects after the 48-hour period has elapsed, the medical certificate holder may not act as pilot in command, or in any other capacity as a required flightcrew member as described at 14 CFR § 61.53(a) for the duration of the symptoms.

I know a stroke will ground your pilot career in most cases forever. Even a minor one. I for sure wouldn't want to be on a flight with a pilot that's stroked out before. Their livelihood relies on them passing a medical 1-2 times per year as headset corrected me in a previous comment or thread based on age.

If there's even a 0.1% chance of a side effect, I'm not taking it. I'd get Covid and sit home for 2 weeks. If I get the jab, there's a possibility I lose my job I worked a long time for in the snap of a finger because of a mundane virus and have a minor stroke or heart attack.

A pilot that has covid and flies a plane and passes it onto passengers is a joke. It's not going to happen. If it does happen, masks clearly don't work along with air filtration. The logic is insane right now. There's 100% zero reason for a pilot to get vaccinated. It's not a sudden onset virus. You feel off, you call in sick.

AIDS is different, but no one knew early on how it was transmitted. We're still in the early stages. Pilots fly almost daily. I'm up to 22 one way flights in an enclosed tube and haven't gotten covid. Anecdotal, yes. Reality, yes. Covid is pure bullshit besides those fat and old. Gotta save those fat fucks and destroy the economy and supply chain.

Actually, only a danger to the fat or the very old. Non-obese folk 70 and under face little risk from Covid.

i am just a kitten and not a meteorologist or anything, but is it maybe striking anyone else as weird how many weather events lately seem to affect only one airline at a time?

because it seems kinda odd.

do you think it might be climate change?

One would think that crappy weather would effect multiple airlines at the same time.

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND CLIMATE CHANGE!!!

SW isn't on the list, but there's only a handful of delays with the other Big Airlines.

American Airlines Cancels 104 Flights At Phoenix Sky Harbor – Whistleblower Reveals Weather Is NOT The Cause, It’s Crew Shortages

Hey, remember how American Airlines cancelled all those flights last weekend…

And blamed the weather? It was too windy in Dallas or too sunny in Fresno or too cloudy in Miami or something?

So that was… not so true.

Turns out close to 90% of the cancellations were “crew”-related. Which DEFINITELY has nothing to do with the civil war over vaccine mandates that has now reached such a pitch that American’s own pilots are worried about it becoming a cockpit distraction.

And this potential distraction DEFINITELY won’t get worse now that the feds have finally issued their official mandate rules.

Enjoy your trip!

Ugh. Flying down to Nashville in two weeks and then flying back the Wednesday before Thanksgiving for a 40th b-day trip. Probably the worst time to fly. We'll see how it goes. Flying out of ORD this time too on Southwest. Will be a first since they started service there. I can't stand ORD. Splitting a limo though, so beer will be pounded since you can't drink on flights anymore unless first class (other airlines).

I also hate Nashville. With a passion. The bars there suck balls. I can't stand country music. Not my 40th though. We are going to see Opeth Tuesday night before we leave. Will be my first progressive heavy metal show. Looking forward to that part. Otherwise I'm gonna spend time at the pool and the room mostly, outside of group activities. Trashville is filled with fake cowboys and awful music. Not my idea of a vacation, but kid free with the wife is good in my book any time.

Thanks @WookieMan

I was actually thinking of flying to Nashville to visit a literally distant cousin, but it doesn't sound too good now.

My mom discovered (I told her) that I'm not vaccinated and I have no plan to get vaccinated. The initial look on her face was priceless. I was honest and told her I was scared to take it, don't know long term effects and I'm healthy enough to survive Covid 99.99%. I know she didn't like my take, but she respected it.

Most people don't like conflict in person. Most people will listen if you're not aggressive about it and can explain your position. Us that don't want to take it, generally have very logical explanations as to why we don't want to take it. EMERGENCY use off the top of the conversation is enough. I don't think most know this isn't really an approved vaccine.

WookieMan says

Good point. No need to get into the details if they can understand that it's still EUA, not approved, and obviously had no long-term testing because there hasn't been any long-term yet.

Patrick says

there hasn't been any long-term yet.

Less than a year for most. Seems like longer.

Covid time is strange.

Tennessee seemed nice, but it's undergoing the full North Carolina/Montana experience and being flooded with Dems, escaping their hellholes but bringing hellhole policy support with them.
