I agree with some of the quoted unions/groups: implementation details are too vague.

Pilots and aircrew are not federal employees, do they need to be vaccinated? (I know the answer, but it's addressed poorly by this policy.

There was talk about very strict medical exemptions, which is great as it is otherwise a path ripe for abuse, but I'm hearing that religious exemptions are still being considered.

The unions I've heard about are encouraging religious exemptions and a "take your word for it" proof policy, where your supervisor can ask for evidence but is not required to.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.




> Pilots and aircrew are not federal employees

Canada has a few industries that are 'federally regulated' (e.g. overtime rules, etc.) and transportation is one of them.

Results in some funny situations like truckers not getting provincial holidays. And some holidays are federal only (so you get it if you're a federal employee or in one of those few federally regulated industries).


Yes! This is why the implementation details are so important.

It gets even weirder with essential workers, which pilots are.

And then they're heavily unionized. Unions are more likely to follow letter of the law than the intent.


What's the general jurisprudence in Canada on religious exemptions and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?


Should there only be medical exemptions for abortions, too?


I guess just in Texas? Oh wait no, not any more.
