Excerpts from the filed case, accessible here:

Fundamentally, this case is about whether Americans should be required to choose between their livelihoods and being coerced into taking an experimental, dangerous medical treatment. 2. It is also about the safety of America’s airline industry. Should pilots – under federal regulation required to be among the healthiest workers in the United States – 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 politics of COVID-19 and its surrounding mandates have led to a very dangerous, backwards situation. Pilots whose health is compromised because of coercion from the government and their employers are now afraid to come forward with chest pains and other indicators of conditions that will soon cause a mass casualty airline event. They are afraid to lose their jobs, but failing to come forward itself is a criminal act. At the same time, pilots whose health is perfect because they had the foresight to refuse the vaccine are daily harassed, intimidated and threatened with the loss of their careers. A comprehensive solution to this problem is desperately, and quickly, needed. It will require money, legislative action and cooperation among all the stakeholders in the aviation industry acting in good faith.

Perhaps most significantly, it is in contravention of long-standing FAA guidance for pilots to take medications that have not been approved by the FDA and then in use for twelve months. The use of, or administration of a drug that does not meet these standards – such as the COVID-19 “vaccines” at issue in this case – is a blatant violation of long-standing FAA procedure. Yet Atlas has encouraged, coerced and even paid pilots to violate this FAA guidance and procedure. Further, Federal Aviation Regulation 61.53(a)(2) prohibits pilots who have taken a medication with side effects that would render them unable to meet the requirements of the FAA medical certificate from acting in any capacity as a member of a flight crew.
