United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said the company's mask-related incidents have decreased 50 percent this year.
Kirby said the airline has instructed flight attendants to hand out cards to maskless passengers that inform them,"you're just going to be banned from flying United Airlines if you don't put [a mask] on."
"The truth is, at United Airlines, we haven't had the kinds of issues that have happened on some other airlines," Kirby said."Listen, we haven't had zero, but our mask incidents are down 50 percent compared to where they were at the start of the year."United Airlines has seen a 50 percent decrease in mask-related incidences this year, according to CEO Scott Kirby.
Most unvaccinated customer-facing employees with exemptions will be placed on temporary leave beginning September 27 until the airline believes that the virus is no longer at such a high threat level. "We've had a handful [of resignations]," the CEO said."The ones I'm aware of are in the single-digit number of people. We're going to have more by the time it finishes, but it's going to be [a] very low number of people who ultimately choose to leave."
