Delta Airlines won’t hire you unless you’ve been vaccinated, CEO says

Hoping to get a job with an airline as travel picks back up? You’d better get your shot. At one airline, at least.

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said on Thursday that the airline will require all new hires to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Bastian’s comments came during an interview with Richard Quest on CNN.

Existing employees will be encouraged to get the jab, but will not be penalized if they choose not to, Bastian said.

“I’m not going to mandate and force people if they have some specific reason why they don’t want to get vaccinated,” Bastian said. “One caveat to that — any person joining Delta in the future we’re going to mandate they be vaccinated before they can sign up with the company.”

More than 60% of Delta’s staff has been vaccinated so far, the airline wrote in a blog post, and Bastian said that he expects an eventual rate of 75-80% among current employees. The airline has hosted vaccination clinics for employees at Atlanta Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport, its headquarters and largest hub.

The requirement for new hires takes effect on May 17, the airline said in the blog post, and will be waived for those who “qualify for an accommodation,” although it was not clear what would be considered qualifying. At press time, the requirement was not listed in open job postings on Delta’s website.

“This is an important move to protect Delta’s people and customers, ensuring the airline can safely operate as demand returns and as it accelerates through recovery and into the future,” the airline said in the posted statement. “Vaccines are safe, effective and essential to the future of the airline and our world.”

Well, there goes my post retirement career. Darn, I guess I'll have to stay retired.

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian needs to be removed from his position (and any position) in a corporation operating in the United States. Forcing experimental treatment on individuals was specifically addressed in the permissible experiments section of the Nuremberg Code in 1947. There are graves in our cemeteries of those who fought and died to stop Nazism and their murder of 12 million victims. To ignore this code is to spit on them and every decent human being on the planet. Ed Bastian self-identified as a Nazi when he stated that the airline will require all new hires to be required to get an experimental treatment.

Delta Air Lines needs to sanctioned and dissolved if necessary. At a minimum they cannot be allowed to operate in U.S. airspace. Their behavior is no different than the korporations who committed atrocities in Nazi Germany.

From the permissible experiments section of the Nuremberg Code in 1947 (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/):

"The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:"

"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision."

"The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity."

"The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury."

"Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death."

"The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment."

"During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible."

Reigning in tyrannical government is only part of the effort. Reigning in the korporations supporting such a tyrannical government is another.

they support a tyrannical government because they have nice lobbyists who give them a ton of privileged over medium and small businesses. Delta is a woke mess and deserve to die in another ten years. It will take some time to catch up with their nonsense but watch.

i wouldn’t take the entire company down, most of those people have nothing to do with this decision

but, i echo the sentiments to deal with everyone in the company that was involved with implementing this decision.

Further just the fact they are exempting current employees but only new hires, that’s a massive legal lawsuit right there as well

completely arbitrary and unnecessary then if current workers can opt out and still keep working

Wouldnt want to work for them

But if you do, lawsuit time

If you aren't vaccinated then you won't be working for them so what are you suing them for?

So states can override.

Do you support the government being able to tell the Christian baker to bake a cake for a same-sex marriage? If not then why are you supporting the government being able to tell a company who they have to hire?

De facto deprivation of your decision making ability where your health is concerned

government already has ruled employers cant force workers to take health/wellness tests, this is a far bigger freedom incursion

no one can force people to take experimental treatments if they don’t want them, basic human rights, nuremburg laws, we executed people for pulling this shiite and we should do so again if necessary

no exemptions for a persons medical issues from taking the shot

Further in this case its completely arbitrary and not for health reasons, as current employees can refuse and keep working - so they cannot hide behind the claim its for gealth and safety - tgey just created two health classes of workers for reasons nothing to do with health

its arbitrarily discrimanatory in this case, their health argument for it falls apart as its only for new people, not existing staff

if its truly about health all employees would have to be subject to it or no job, and thats not what they are doing here

Well, it has now been released that employers are on the hook for adverse reactions or death per OSHA.
