Delta Air Lines will charge employees on the company health plan $200 a month if they fail to get vaccinated against COVID-19, a policy the airline’s top executive says is necessary because the average hospital stay for the virus costs the airline $40,000.
CEO Ed Bastian said that all employees who have been hospitalised for the virus in recent weeks were not fully vaccinated.
The airline said Wednesday that it also will stop extending pay protection to unvaccinated workers who contract COVID-19 on September 30, and will require unvaccinated workers to be tested weekly beginning September 12, although Delta will cover the cost.
They will have to wear masks in all indoor company settings.
Delta stopped short of matching United Airlines, which will require employees to be vaccinated starting September 27 or face termination.

some may find this legit. In fact it is opening the door to far too many discriminations. will ex-smokers, overweighted people pay more ? Will older people, people with a cancer history or having a child suffering from cancer be discriminated? Wake up!
