PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) As the airline industry continues to feel the impacts due to the coronavirus, workers in Philadelphia are being warned about potential furloughs if things don t turn around.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian blasted a Biden Administration proposal on CNN Tuesday, which would require negative COVID-19 tests for travelers on domestic flights. I think it d be a horrible idea for a lot of reasons, said Bastian, who documented minimal spread of the virus on flights and concerns that the testing requirement would significantly tap into testing resources needed around the country. It will not keep domestic flyers safer. If anything, it s going to keep people away from what they need to do in terms of starting to get back out, and not just essential travel, but people need to start reclaiming their lives, said Bastian.
