Delta, American, United, and other major airlines signal rejection of new CDC guidance saying they should block middle seats tpallini@businessinsider.com (Thomas Pallini)

Airlines for America and analysts pushed back, saying the report didn t consider new safety steps.
The CDC also gave vaccinated people the green light to travel within the US earlier this month.
