The pilots have a union (which might have already be co-opted by the liberal establishment) and tend to be a reasonably educated and tight knit group. If this is true, I expect AA to get sued over forcing vaccinations and this could put a major damper on employer vaccination requirements.

Is this part of the reason why they have been cancelling hundreds of flights (if i recall correctly)?

Other than folks not wanting to work anymore cuz of muh COVID money (taxpayer dollars). Paid to be unemployed. (Tho i dont put the pilots in this group. Pilots are a subset unto themselves.)

Pilots are already hard to come by. Here comes the diversity hires in the aviation industry they’ve been talking about. This shit should get kicked off soon.

5 on British air this would not be a surprise the vaccine reactions are being covered up the cure is worse then the virus

Note: Airlines are not cancelling flights due to pilot shortages. Flights are being consolidated to minimize financial loss. Instead of AA having 4 flights a week on a particular route that is at an average of 50% capacity, they're making it 3 flights a week at 75% capacity. Not only that but instead of flying a 737-200 for those routes they can fly a 777-300 and save even more on operating costs.
