18 major airlines and government could face lawsuits over COVID vaccine mandates!
MIAMI, Florida (PNN) - May 26, 2022 - The lawyer representing plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed earlier this month against Atlas Air said he plans to file similar lawsuits against the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Fascist Police States of Amerika Department of Transportation (DOT), and 18 major airlines over their COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Kalifornia attorney John Pierce alleges the mandates “imposed by these agencies on the airlines’ employees infringed on their constitutional, religious, and medical liberties,” he said.
Pierce filed the first lawsuit on behalf of the Atlas Air employees and U.S. Freedom Flyers (USFF), an advocacy group opposing airline vaccine and mask mandates.
Atlas Air is one of the largest air cargo carriers in the aviation industry and the world’s largest operator of Boeing 747 aircraft.
The lawsuit was filed May 12 in the FPSA District Court for the Southern District of Florida with the participation of more than 100 plaintiffs, most of whom are unvaccinated pilots and flight attendants.
According to the lawsuit:
“Fundamentally, this case is about whether Amerikans should be required to choose between their livelihoods and being coerced into taking an experimental, dangerous medical treatment.
“It is also about the safety of Amerika’s airline industry. Should pilots - under federal regulation required to be among the healthiest workers in the (FPSA) - who have taken an experimental ‘vaccine’ that is now shown to have potentially deadly, long-term side effects, be allowed to fly massive aircraft in our skies? While those who have (smartly) refrained from such a course be forced out of their jobs?”
The next lawsuit will be filed against United Airlines, said Pierce.
“We’ll be hitting basically all of them in sequence, and then we’ll be going after the FAA as well,” Pierce said, adding he believes the vaccine mandates and COVID-19 restrictions affecting the aviation industry will be “ruled unconstitutional” and discriminatory under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Pierce outlined the firm’s next steps:
“It’s going to require a big fix, ultimately; and that’s probably going to require legislation and kind of getting all the stakeholders at the table, but the first step is civil litigation.
“So the [Atlas Air] complaint has been filed. We’re in the process of serving everyone; and then, we’ll likely be looking for some kind of injunctive relief here soon to make sure that all the COVID-related mandates stop immediately. Then we’ll proceed [with] litigation, motion, practice, and discovery and then onward to trial eventually.”
Pierce highlighted the importance of the legal cases as part of a broader struggle in favor of freedom and liberty.
“[These lawsuits are] absolutely crucial. It’s a very, very red line - if you get to the point where you have to choose between getting an experimental drug shot in your arm and your paycheck, that’s just un-Amerikan, it’s unconstitutional, it’s outrageous, it’s sickening. If that’s not the hill to die on when it comes to liberty, that’s about as close as I can imagine it.”
While the FAA and DOT have not imposed vaccine mandates of their own on the aviation industry, these agencies may be violating federal regulations by allowing pilots who received the COVID-19 vaccines to fly airplanes.
In December 2021, the Kalifornia-based Advocates for Citizens’ Rights hand-delivered an open letter to the FAA, the CEOs of major airlines, and the insurers of these airlines, stating the FAA is:
“… putting both pilots and the general public at risk of death and/or serious injury by operating in contravention of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Sec. 61.53. and related guidance, which together operate to disallow medical clearance of pilots who have injected or ingested non-FDA approved products - like the COVID-19 inoculation.”
The letter goes on to clarify that this clause in the federal regulations prohibits aviation medical examiners from issuing medical clearances to pilots who use non-approved medical treatments, such as those that are being administered under Emergency Use Authorization instead of full FDA approval and new medications fully approved by the FDA less than 12 months prior.
