Rumor going around, if you cpc during covid and have a deal within 3 months, you go back to training. Anyone hear the same?
 
Saw da email saying if you were fully vaccinated you can return to work regardless of gating criteria.

In accordance with CDC guidance and in consultation with Aerospace Medicine, the Parties at the national level have collaboratively determined that employees currently on excused absence, other than those presently assigned and working an operational schedule, that meet the definition of fully vaccinated are safe to return to duty and are no longer subject to the OJT gating criteria or OJT resumption plan. This includes fully vaccinated employees categorized as high-risk that are on excused absence due to underlying medical conditions.



Fully vaccinated is defined as:

Asymptomatic (free from COVID symptoms) for 14 days or more from receipt of the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer or Moderna) or receipt of a single dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson).



The Parties at the local level must ensure all employees on excused absence, other than those presently assigned and working an operational schedule, are made aware of the expectation to notify their manager and return to duty once they meet the definition of fully vaccinated if not recalled sooner. The Parties at the local level shall work collaboratively to schedule the employees return to duty and ensure the individuals resume training if training is required.



Additionally, the Agency continues to identify opportunities for local partners to administer the vaccine for FAA employees. The Parties at the local level must identify and develop a list of volunteers that desire the vaccine should the opportunity be made available. This shall include all volunteers for the facility and not just operational employees.



Employees are not required to report receipt of vaccination to the Regional Flight Surgeon; however, they are expected to report the information to their manager for scheduling and planning purposes. Non-operational employees should also report receipt of vaccination to their manager. Having this information readily available allows for more informed decision making at all levels as we continue to protect the safety of the employees while meeting the operational demands.

I’d be surprised if it’s ever mandatory honestly. At this point the AME doesn’t even care if you get it. As of now only managers care since they need to account for staffing. So I can only imagine this sort of sentiment will only last

The stupid part about the wording of this is if you’re in the building already working as a D-Side you can’t train if you’re vaccinated, but an AG who has been vaccinated will be allowed back in the building to train. It explicitly excludes “those presently assigned and working an operational schedule”. What sense does that make?

I mean, the vaccine has been around for 4 months and apparently someone just realized this week “hey, once these people get it, it might be safe for them to come back.”

CPCs be taking the vaccine to get free time off. Trainees (CPC-IT most likely) be avoiding it to get free time off ?

There you go again disparaging people who aren’t comfortable with the way the vaccine was rolled out, sigh.
