(Natural News) A labor union representing thousands of pilots in the United States has declared its opposition to Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine mandates. The group warned that vaccine requirements would trigger a lot of chaos.
The Allied Pilots Association (APA) represents around 15,000 pilots who work for American Airlines. The union is reacting to potential vaccine mandates that could affect the airline industry.
In a letter addressed to Congress, the White House, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and several other federal agencies, APA President Eric Ferguson said that many of the pilots he represents “are unable to undergo vaccination for documented medical reasons, while others are reluctant to get vaccinated based upon concerns about the potential for career-ending side effects.”
Because of the legitimate concerns of APA pilots, Ferguson is asking President Joe Biden to grant airline pilots an exemption to the pending COVID-19 vaccine mandate that he announced earlier this month.
“To ensure commercial aviation’s ongoing viability by avoiding a scenario in which airlines are forced to either offer unpaid leaves of absence or, worse, implement mass terminations of unvaccinated pilots, it is essential that an alternate means of compliance with the Executive Order be made available for professional pilots,” wrote Ferguson.
Ferguson then called on public health regulators and lawmakers to remember that pilots play a crucial role in the travel industry. Given this, they should be given “an alternate means of minimizing the risk of spreading COVID-19,” such as presenting proof of natural immunity to COVID-19 or regular testing. This will allow unvaccinated pilots to keep flying.
The union boss pointed out that pilots for commercial airlines already have to adhere to strict medical requirements. Adding experimental and side effect-riddled COVID-19 vaccines to the mix could complicate matters, leaving many pilots unable to fly planes.
The FAA also prohibits pilots from operating an aircraft within 48 hours after receiving each dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Such a requirement could delay flights significantly.
“In a situation where we became instantly short say 10 or 15 percent, on manning, the viability of this company would be at risk,” said Ferguson during an interview.
