They never should have been charged extra in the first place. I applaud the Delta employees who held out and resisted getting a shot they didn't want and the bullying of the government and their employer.

So much injustice was done to people over the past two years.

They should have the money returned. Adding cost as an “after the fact” to the policy is more than likely TOTALLY illegal.

I think Delta needs to pay them back. I used to fly only Delta and I liked them as a company, but they went crazy with Covid.

“Bastian also said if the federal mask mandate for air travel is discontinued, Delta will not require passengers or employees to wear masks.”

I don’t care, I don’t think I will ever be flying Delta again if they think treating their employees this way is okay.

Exactly where did the $200 go? Does Delta self insure? Was their insurance provider charging the extra premium?

[9YearLurker]

Big of them.

Repeating a query / request I posed here at Free Republic earlier today, in a different thread:

I have a serious question to any FReepers who might care to weigh in on the matter:

American society has become increasingly polarized in recent years. But now, millions of conservatives in this country are seriously considering compiling lists of major companies (promoting "woke" politics) to boycott.

If they were to actually boycott those companies with any degree of consistency - what would that do to the American economy, and consequently, to American society? Could this be viewed as some sort of "cold" Civil War?

How can an individual be expected to function in a society where 8 out of 10 airlines, say, have morally disqualified themselves?

(Please don't just say: "Well, don't fly then!" There are unusual cases where it might be imperative; where it is absolutely, positively necessary. And where the two remaining "good" airlines - Singapore Air and Lufthansa - aren't viable, because one has to fly from Omaha to Dallas.)

They should get a refund with interest.

In the aviation community, Delta is known as a crap company. It is woke and lead by AA types. One day they might even spend the money to clean their planes. I am surprised they are still in business.

I recently drove 15 hours versus taking a flight so I would give Delta one less passenger.

The healthier group made to subsidize the ones coming down with covid after vaxxing.

[bgill]

Guessing they won’t be returning the money.
