The vax isn't mandatory here either, and won't be. Management just stated intent for marketing purposes based on their perception of the market.

It's sales puffery.

The union hasn't weighed in in the company's announcement yet either except to say further negotiations are necessary. Why would United promise such a thing to the woke public without first determining its cost with the ALPA? Seems like it would give ALPA a pretty big bargaining advantage. Maybe it's because they have zero intent on following through. It's all smoke and mirrors to make money.
