Across the industry, omicron infections and winter storms have reportedly contributed to upwards of 20,000 flight cancellations in the U.S. between Christmas Eve and the first week of January. United Airlines also announced this week that four percent of its workforce (3,000 out of nearly 70,000) have called out sick for coronavirus.
As of Thursday, Delta has only canceled one percent of its flights in the past week, showing that cancellations have “eased significantly” since the holidays. Bastian told CNBC’s Squawk Box that sick employees have had “no significant health issues.”
According to the report, later last year, the airline changed its sick leave policy from ten days of paid leave to five days “outside of sick banks” for employees who test positive for coronavirus. They receive two more days if they still test positive for the virus on the fifth day.
“That came after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] updated its guidelines for Covid quarantining, halving its recommendation to five days,” CNBC reported, noting that Delta and other airlines “urged the CDC to make the change.”
Sara Nelson, the president of the Association of Flight Attendants, the largest U.S. flight attendant union, slammed Delta’s policy in a tweet, to which the airline issued a cease-and-desist letter.
“Delta is telling workers across work groups that they should come to work w/ symptoms even if someone in the household tested positive,” Nelson wrote. Workers were told to “come to work after 5 days if the fever is below 100.9, even if still testing positive.”
Bastian reportedly stood by the policy and said the change was centered around CDC guidance.

Those who’ve had it and then proceed to get vaxxed might not be for long in this realm.
The deep state is going to double down on their intended democide after today’s USSC decision.
“ four percent of its workforce (3,000 out of nearly 70,000) have called out sick for coronavirus.”
That’s not the same as having it.
And they were all vaxxed too. Hmmm.
Yup. Not the same as dying ‘from’ ‘of’ or ‘with’ CONvid.
Total BS. There is no way 8,000 out of 91,000 employees got sick. No other company that size is reporting such infections rates, especially since Delta is scattered all over the place. I think they are protesting Delta’s mandate to get the death jab with sickouts.
That means it’s working!
Yeah. I’m betting a big part of that workforce “called out sick” because they’ve been mentally healthy enough to decline to be vaccinated.
On One Delta flight the crew all came down with Covid and high fevers while in the air.
They had to bring a young man passenger up to the cockpit to land the plane.
And he wasn’t over Macho Grande. 😉
Well don’t be to hasty doubting the covid employees...you might be forgetting one small detail. Those airline employees are transporting thousands upon THOUSANDS of priority UNJAB illegal aliens ALL ACROSS our nation INFECTING EVERYONE in contact with them! They are given priority passage through the security gates without ID’s or VAX card! How do you like them apples! Let’s go Brandon!!!
And just because someone says they tested positive, doesn’t mean they really did.
Sick-out = labor action over shots mandates ?
I don’t know but I do know what the statement says. I also know this airline did not do 800 tests on employees. That’s - for that many positive results on the same day? That’s about 4500 testers and plus 200 tests. Neither of which they had. Heck I tried to get a test for a family member to fly out day before New Year’s Eve. There was one schedule opening left in a town of 2,000,000 and the airline asked me for a two week lag time if ordered from them
I hear there’s a nasty cold going around. Wife and I just got over it. Guess it’s called Omicron.
Did they have the steak or the fish?
"Uh oh..."
They should have chosen the Space Special.
I’m pretty sure I caught Omicron on my Delta flight over New Year’s. It’s the only conceivable place I could’ve caught it as I was isolated in the days before and afterward.
Their voting rights legislation, like Obamacare, fashioned over the last few years will likely finish us off.
This is what happens when you obey them and kneel for one needle, two needles, ten needles.
This started under a Republican and they will never get this opportunity again. Biblical drunk with power.
I am in healthcare where the supreme court just ruled #unequal protection is the new law. We, know they cant write law, but nonetheless it is.
Time to go amish and ride this out.
Let me guess........They used the fraudulent PCR test to confirm????
Covid is NOTHING but a LIE.......PERIOD!
