really sir or madam? the staffing shortages at all of the airlines in the u.s.have been caused,not by the vaccine you are speaking of (covid),but by the airlines themselves who OFFERED monetary buyouts and EARLY retirement packages with full benefits..this applied to all areas of the airline workforce, from rampers to agents to flight attendants and yes,pilots..due to covid, all of the airlines had to cut back or cancel flights and the need for lots of workers just wasnt there..they did make the mistake of NOT anticipating the travel market would come back so quickly..there were cutback in international carriers employee groups as well for the same reasons..
