Its just virtue signaling for the headbangers on the Right.
The Delta head revealed on "The Claman Countdown" that the company has reached a more than 90% vaccination rate and expects it to rise another 5% within the next month without a mandate in place.
"The reason the mandate was put in by president, I believe, was because they wanted to make sure companies had a plan to get their employees vaccinated," he said. "A month before the president came out with the mandate, we had already announced our plan to get all of our people vaccinated. And the good news is the plan is working."

I doubt any airlines (or other large corps) are making vaccine decisions based on "what's right".
Whichever way they blow on the issue, they're calculating costs, hassles, operational disruption, liability, potential employee turnover, media coverage, and public opinion. That applies regardless of their position: pre-mandate mandate, mandate defiance, mandate compliance. Might vary between companies by their customer and employee demographics.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that Biden’s pronouncement was a bluff, meant to provide cover for companies proposing their own mandates. If OSHA actually does put out a temporary emergency standard it will be immediately suspended by the courts pending litigation. And the pandemic will be long over before it is ever adjudicated, especially with all the other covid associated litigation already in the pipeline.

Most people in this country don't like draconian statism. Apparently, you do.

To be completely honest....One way to get many Americans to NOT to do something, is to try and force or coerce them into doing it. I highly suspect that a lot of people refusing to take the vax are doing so largely because they resent the government (specifically Biden) telling them that they MUST. Biden & Co know this which is why the issue has now become about control, and not about health. If they had simply said "we strongly encourage everyone to get the vax" it would have become a non-issue and most people probably would have. But instead they tried to ram it down everyone's throats, thus the pushback. And lots of good people and businesses caught in the middle.
One commentator I saw this morning hit the nail on the head when he said this has moved out of the realm of public health and instead they are in the middle of a culture war trying to decide policy which never works out so well. This was of course by design.
