My guess is they're waiting to see what kind of response United and Southwest, Delta, American are getting before they make any sort of formal policy decision.. I notice they are getting / ignoring questions about whether they will follow United's lead and require their employees to be vaccinated, so are probably doing some level of analysis as to whether it will be a benefit to their bottom line before determining a path forward.

Hawaiian and Frontier are the latest to follow United.

It looks like the answer to the question posed by the OP is a likely yes: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/11/alas...for-staff.html

Have fun flying Frontier. I hope that AS requires all employees have the vaccines which will keep us all safer. Nothing is 100%. My question is how will they enforce it? You do get the CDC card, but you don't get anything after getting any other vaccine, other than a bandage.

Yup, the data is there. Here in SF I use:
1. A screenshot of the CA/QR code
2. A jpg of my original vax card
3. A photocopy in my wallet of my vax card, should my phone die.

Just signed in and it was really simple. Couple of 'verify your...' steps to complete, but it found all my most recent vaccinations and included the official state document for proof I got my shots.

Looks like they're still working on getting it up and running for Alaska with no concrete timeline, but hopefully soon: https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/20...ation-records/

Well, Canada is going to require all passengers to be vaccinated (for domestic flights). I wonder if they will roll it out to include cross border flights. If that happens, then both employees and passengers will need to be vaccinated. It doesn't make sense to require vaccinated passenger on domestic flights but not on international.

If "proof of vaccination" is merely those CDC cards, I have heard that blank cards can be bought online, and nothing to stop someone from "filling it out" with fake dates and a pharma co name...

Of course. There is nothing or little to stop you from committing a variety of crimes, other than the threat of punishment.
