10% of pilots are still not vaccinated. It will be interesting to see how many more get the jab.
I had a WB CA on the jumpseat and he stated that a lot of the ones who haven't gotten the jab are ex-mil. I can understand that after the disastrous Anthrax vaccinations that were forced on those of us who were in the military. I got one Anthrax shot but dodged most of them until the moronic program was finally cancelled.

A year ago anyone who had even hinted that UAL employees would need to be vaccinated in order to remain employees, would have been laughed out of the room. We are sliding down a very slippery slope.

It's a darned good thing we're moving unvaccinated (and in more than a few cases, infected) illegal aliens throughout the country. It's no longer catch and release; it's catch and bus nationwide. It makes 'superspreader events' look rather mundane.

They're talking about it on CNBC right now. (750AM EDT)

Did United justify this decision?
Vaccines don't seem to significantly reduce spread of the virus, they reduce the likelihood of severe illness among the most vulnerable. Most UAL employees are not the "most vulnerable", so from a medical standpoint I'm not sure I see the benefit. From a medical standpoint.
Also, this is only valid for US employees...? I don't think the company can mandate it overseas.
I'd be happy if United concentrated on improving their product and operational performance -- the woke nonsense is fairly destructive.
