United Airlines will require its 67,000 U.S. employees to get vaccinated against Covid by Oct. 25 or risk termination, a first for major U.S. carriers that will likely ramp up pressure on rivals. Airlines including United have so far resisted vaccine mandates for all workers, instead offering incentives like extra pay or time off to get inoculated. Delta Air Lines in May started requiring newly hired employees to show proof of vaccination. United followed suit in June. Uniteds requirement is one of the strictest vaccine mandates from a U.S. company and one that includes employees who interact regularly with customers like flight attendants and gate agents.

We know some of you will disagree with this decision to require the vaccine for all United employees, United CEO Scott Kirby and President Brett Hart said Friday in an employee note. But, we have no greater responsibility to you and your colleagues than to ensure your safety when youre at work, and the facts are crystal clear: everyone is safer when everyone is vaccinated. United Airlines employees must upload proof that they received two doses of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or one dose of Johnson & Johnsons single dose five weeks after federal officials give full approval to them or by Oct. 25, whichever is first, the executives said. Exceptions will be made for certain health issues or religious reasons, United said.

Or "risk" being terminated.

Meaning business as usual, whether you're vaccinated or not, but it make them look like they're doing the right thing.

They're probably not gonna kick pilots is what "risk" means. Technicians and attendants are the ones who will be on the chopping block.

They are worried another shutdown will force them to beg the government for another bailout.
Also, this probably is good PR for fliers to know all the staff is vaccinated.
