United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL)<\/strong> is reducing its schedule due to a surge in ill employees, according to a memo sent out by CEO Scott Kirby. Kirby revealed that there are currently 3,000 covid positive employees, though he did highlight that none of the vaccinated employees are currently hospitalized or deceased amid the virus. However the staffing shortage will ultimately impact the airline’s scheduled flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur vaccine requirement is working \u2013 and saving lives. While we have about 3,000 employees who are currently positive for COVID, zero of our vaccinated employees are currently hospitalized.\u201d<\/p>CEO, Scott Kirby<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In August of 2021, the carrier introduced its vaccination requirement which stated that all employees were to be fully vaccinated before October 25th. In the memo, Kirby reiterated the effectiveness of the airline’s vaccination program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince our vaccine policy went into effect, the hospitalization rate among our employees has been 100x lower than the general population in the US. Prior to our vaccine requirement, tragically, more than one United employee on average *per week* was dying from COVID.\u201d<\/p>CEO Scott Kirby<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, amid the surge in sick workers, on December 31, United offered triple pay for pilots to pick up trips throughout the majority of January. According to the pilots union, sick calls have reached record highs among aviators. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) is reducing its schedule due to a surge in ill employees, according to a memo sent out by CEO Scott Kirby.
