Is that right! I'm so glad I'm retired from the Airlines and the Stupidity industry has become. In truth it has always been there, like adding gear pins to the checklist because the chief pilot took off with them in, it took years to have that removed. I hope you boys are still wearing your spark resistant boots on the apron.
An employer may well be able to make such a mandate, that doesn't make it right. To terminate someone for non compliance of a flu shot, well it must be new. Just goes to show how many managers there are that shouldn't be.
I still won't be doing it. (making such a mandate) won't be policing anyone else's mandate either.
