MEC leadership has concluded a discussion with flight management regarding FCIF 21-00609. Management has clarified that this request for your vaccine status is voluntary, and disclosure is not required. Pilots who refuse to answer will be deemed unvaccinated and placed in substitution.
Concurrently, there are requests to provide answers outside of the Crew Nav system for pilots with trips to countries requiring vaccination. Providing your vaccination status will be voluntary in this case as well, and pilots who refuse to answer will be deemed unvaccinated and placed in substitution.
We understand the frustration with management’s administration of the FCIF and that this information may conflict with the tone of requests you have received previously. We will keep you informed as we gain additional information or circumstances change.
