Many Austrian Airlines employees have already entered Covid-19 vaccination appointments in their April duty rosters. At first glance, it seems as if AUA wants to "push its way to the front", but the appointments are not yet fixed. There could be delays, because the national vaccination plan continues to give priority to high-risk patients and older people. Phase II is not yet complete and the staff of transport companies with customer contact are only scheduled for Phase III. At least in theory, AUA flying staff already have appointments in the bag, but the reality is a little different. Depending on the progress of Phase II vaccinations and the availability of the vaccine, these will then be fixed or possibly postponed indefinitely. In theory, many older people also had vaccination appointments in the bag, but in Vienna in particular, there have been repeated cases of even extremely elderly pensioners being sent home on the spot due to a lack of vaccine. Austrian Airlines is preparing organizationally for the vaccination campaign and has already included possible appointments in the duty rosters, but whether these will actually be "jabbed" depends on the decisions of the authorities. Thus, "theoretically possible appointments" were allocated. The Lufthansa subsidiary did not even address the allegation that AUA is not a system-critical infrastructure, a hospital or a nursing home. At the moment, these groups, among others, are next in line in phases I and II, and in most federal states this is well behind schedule. A spokeswoman referred to the national vaccination plan: "Phase 3 of the Austrian vaccination plan, which will be launched in mid-XNUMX, is not yet available."
