That didn't last very long... Delta's $200 monthly fee for unvaccinated employees While virtually all airlines in the United States have encouraged employees to get vaccinated, they've taken very different approaches when it comes to incentivizing people to do so. Among the "big three" US carriers, United took the hardest stance in requiring employees to…

Delta best US Airline.
With mask mandates extended I wish they would do a KLM and give the administration the finger too.
The employees that got the surcharge should engage in actions that cost Delta 10x the amount the paid.
Vaccines side effect can give you a visit to the hospital. Just stop acting like that the unvaccinated people are costing the hospital more.
Keep in mind that Delta never had a vaccination mandate in contrast to many other airlines.
Given that the insurance surcharge was in place for very few months - because there was a notification requirement - this was by far the least costly way for non-vaxd employees to keep their job at any US airline.
Just flat out wrong / medical disinformation to say the vaccines have little benefit if taken more than a year ago
Couldn't agree more. I support initial vaccination but unless you are high risk the booster campaign is completely ridiculous. People vaccinated long ago are getting covid, but not ending up in the hospital and that should be the only goal. If we do everything we can to prevent people from getting covid in the first place (rather than reducing severity) all we are doing is preventing our immune systems from adapting alongside the virus, making us get more sick when we do contract it.
It seems that more and more people being hospitalized got the jab and no shortage of credible scientists and health care professionals not on the take with Big Pharma warning of risks. Seems to companies are going to start laying off this mandate.
I'm sorry you are not a doctor. You should encourage employees to discuss with their doctor what is the best medical option. That decision should not be interfered by either employers or government.
Good for Delta! It is about time these companies wise up to these experimental vaccines and not penalize employees who have the right to make personal health care decisions for themselves.
>>According to virtually every study we’ve seen, you have the highest level of protection if you’ve been recently vaccinated or boosted<<
The above is false. The be protection is if you've already had covid.
So Delta is awarding irresponsibility and stupidity, and those who fly Delta are paying $ for it.
Yuck.
A lot of comments of antivax fake news spreaders going against proven scientific facts.
I am not surprised. Just sad.
I’m so old that I remember the word vaccinated meaning you do not get the disease (polio, mumps, measles).
It seems that more and more MAGA mouth breathers spread patently false lies that Newsmax shoots into their tiny rotting brains.
The best protection is to be recently immunized, regardless of how that immunization came about. Getting covid two weeks ago provides better protection than getting vaccinated 6 months ago. And getting vaccinated two weeks ago provides better protection than getting covid 6 months ago.
@Jim: Every accredited medical doctor says to get vaccinated. Delta is charging employees according to their increased risk for racking up expensive medical bills.
@Notbad: Those viruses don't mutate nearly as much.
