Metro doesn't require the vaccine.  It's all based on customers and what the hospitals are mandating.  Metro has been trying to accommodate all of its employees and respect their individual beliefs, to the point that Metro leadership has contacted hospital leadership on behalf of employees with that program to try and find workarounds, exemptions, etc... going so far as to find loopholes in the language of what may be the difference of an employee or contractor.  Definitely not Metro pushing this.  If the hospital mandates it, it's out of their hands.

And yes, most of their programs are hospital-based.  Their HR Department is spending tons of time trying to keep up with all the changing mandates among the customers, and they don't want to lose pilots over a vaccine.  Didn't covid disappear with the midterms, anyway?
