FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS: WHAT'S YOUR AIRLINE'S POLICY
According to a memo to staff from United CEO Scott Kirby reviewed by FOX
Business, roughly 3,000 United employees are currently positive for
COVID-19.
"In one day alone at Newark, nearly one-third of our workforce called
out sick," Kirby noted. "To those who are out sick or isolating, we wish
you a speedy recovery."

Despite the surge in sick calls, Kirby emphasized that none of the
airline's vaccinated employees are currently hospitalized and that the
hospitalization rate among its staff has been 100 times lower than the
general U.S. population since its vaccination policy went into effect.
"Prior to our vaccine requirement, tragically, more than one United
employee on average *per week* was dying from COVID," Kirby explained.
"But we’ve now gone eight straight weeks with zero COVID-related deaths
among our vaccinated employees – based on United’s prior experience and
the nationwide data related to COVID fatalities among the unvaccinated,
that means there are approximately 8-10 United employees who are alive
today because of our vaccine requirement."
As of Sept. 30, United had a total of 85,300 employees.
