A senior stewardess told me she had been vaccinated against Covid-19 because she did not have much choice. The condition is, the unvaccinated will be subjected to "house cleaning" (her own words) come October without elaborating. She told me that even the fully vaccinated had been infected with the virus. So "what is the point the company want us to be vaccinated?"
She said her loved ones refused to be given the shots including her parents.
Scores have resigned because they do not want to be vaccinated against Covid-19 or accept ground jobs. For those unvaccinated crew who want to be remained employed, they will start their ground duties from 1 September 2021. They will work in the office from Monday to Friday and will be assigned work which they can carry out.
Majority of the cabin crew had been vaccinated against Covid-19. There are still a handful who does not want to be vaccinated. As frontline workers, if one does not want to be vaccinated one would be redeployed to jobs where one does not come in contact with the customers. The policy make a lot of sense.
I was informed that as of last week, over 70 crew of various ranks have resigned. They refused to be vaccinated and do not want to be redeployed as "ground" staff. The number of resignation could not be independently verified.
