“熔断”政策已经不知不觉过去了一年半多。从2020年6月11日第一班被“熔断”的航
班入境开始到2022年1月16日为止，中国已经在检疫期间在412班国际入境航班上发现了
2957例确诊病例加以隔离，并对445班航班采取了取消措施。
。。。
在Omicron变种的背景下。。。
。。。
中美航线彻底跳了闸——12月熔断15次；1月份熔断19次。在病毒的压力面前，中美七
大航空公司也没有什么办法。
与此同时，加拿大2020年冬天一周确诊在6万例左右，但最近一段时间也达到了30
万的水平。这使得中加航线在今年冬天熔断了九次——12月3次，1月有6次。
。。。
至今，西欧（申根区）一共被熔断了135次（法国30次、俄罗斯25次、德国23次、荷兰
15次、波兰白俄罗斯各八次、意大利西班牙各五次、瑞士四次、芬兰丹麦各三次、奥地
利瑞典各两次、希腊葡萄牙各一次），远多于东南亚的62次；非洲六国（埃塞俄比亚、
肯尼亚和卢旺达、埃及、阿尔及利亚和南非）一共被熔断了75次（肯尼亚30次、埃及23
次、埃塞13次、阿尔及利亚四次、卢旺达三次、南非两次），中东（阿联酋、阿曼、沙
特、土耳其、伊拉克、伊朗和以色列）一共被熔断了48次（阿联酋17次、土耳其11次、
沙特七次、伊拉克六次、伊朗三次、阿曼和以色列各两次），都在相当高的水平。 | w********9

Thousands of airline workers out due to COVID-19 infections in the US
Claude Delphian
16 January 2022
Three thousand workers at United Airlines, over 4 percent of its workforce,
have recently tested positive for COVID-19. In recent weeks, the airline has
canceled about 8 percent of its flights, or about 29,000 flights. Over the
holidays, almost a third of United Airlines workers called in sick at the
Newark Liberty International Airport, which is a major United hub.
The whole aviation industry is facing similar issues. Alaska Airlines has
also cut about 10 percent of its January flight schedule because of an “
unprecedented” number of workers who called in sick due to the Omicron
variant surge of COVID-19. The airline was physically incapable of running
its operations at full capacity safely with the remaining staff.

Airlines around the world canceled over 6,000 flights on Christmas Eve,
Christmas and the day after Christmas. In the United States, over 2,800
flights were canceled during the holiday weekend as pilots, flight
attendants and other airlines workers called in sick.
The airlines have had to become more flexible for travelers who might have
their travel plans canceled or changed due to the pandemic. The Alaska Air
Group Inc. stated, “Right now, we need to build more reliability back into
our operation as we deal with the impacts of omicron and during a time when
guests generally fly less. [The cancellations] will give us the flexibility
and capacity needed to reset while continued flexible travel policies enable
guests to adjust their plans accordingly.”
Winter weather also played a factor in airline cancellations, with Alaska
cutting 120 flights on January 6, about 16 percent of its total scheduled
flights, according to FlightAware.com. The United States saw 1,980 flights
canceled for the whole industry on January 6 due to the combined causes of
employee illness and severe winter weather. During the holidays, Alaska
Airlines canceled almost 15 percent and delayed 38 percent of its scheduled
flights between December 24 and January 5.
Airlines in the United States, including Southwest Airlines, United Airlines
and Delta Air Lines, are attempting to get workers back on the job in spite
of the risk of infection, using financial incentives to encourage workers
to take on extra shifts in order to cover for quarantined workers.
United has recently required its workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
United Airlines Chief Executive Scott Kirby said that prior to the company’
s vaccination requirement, “tragically, more than one United employee on
average per week was dying from COVID.” Kirby said that since the
vaccination requirement was enacted, “the hospitalization rate among our
employees has been 100 times lower than the general population in the U.S.”
In December, Kirby had to defend the airline’s vaccine decision against
criticism from the Republican Party. “We did this for safety, we don’t
compromise on safety,” Kirby said at the U.S. Senate hearing. Kirby said,
“While we have about 3,000 employees who are currently positive for COVID,
zero of our vaccinated employees are currently hospitalized.”
Little is being done for airline workers aside from vaccine requirements.
Vaccination is an important tool against COVID-19, but vaccines alone cannot
prevent the spread of the virus, especially as new variants such as Omicron
develop the ability to evade immunity. It is also not a complete guarantee
against serious health outcomes from infections such as COVID-19. If safety
truly is the primary factor in airline decision making, all but the most
necessary flights would be grounded until the pandemic is over and COVID-19
is eliminated from the human population.
Underscoring this lack of focus on safety, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention cut the recommended quarantine period from 10 days to five
after Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian asked the CDC on December 21 to reduce
the quarantine requirements because they might “significantly impact our
workforce and operations.” JetBlue Airways CEO Robin Hayes joined in this
request the following Wednesday with the support of other airlines. Prior to
this, the CDC had already bowed to business interests and arbitrarily
shortened the recommended 14 days of isolation to 10.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky openly admitted the economic motivations
behind the agency’s decision by saying, “We want to make sure there is a
mechanism by which we can safely continue to keep society functioning while
following the science.” “Keeping society functioning” is a euphemism for
keeping the economy open and producing profits for Wall Street.
The US airline industry has received $63 billion in federal stimulus money
under the Payroll Support Program (PSP) and other programs since the
beginning of the pandemic. In March 2020, $25 billion came through the CARES
Act, $15 billion through the December 2020 relief bill and $14 billion
through the 2021 American Rescue Plan. An additional $5 billion was given to
food service, maintenance and janitorial contractors. The PSP was part of
Congress’s massive financial support to Wall Street and corporations
packaged as part of the CARES Act and was officially intended to help
corporations keep their workers employed.
In spite of this, airlines forced over 80,000 workers to take “voluntary”
buyouts and early retirements. As of November, the airlines have 24,000
fewer workers than they did in 2019. For their part, the airline unions have
blocked any attempt to shut down the industry in order to save the lives of
their own members.
The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) President Captain Joseph G. DePete
released a statement on December 14, saying, “Over the past 20 months, the
bipartisan Payroll Support Program (PSP) has averted disaster for the
airline industry and its workers. Because of the $63 billion in federal
relief as well as aviation workers who volunteered to retire early, our
industry was ready for Thanksgiving, with many carriers marking their best
on-time performance since 2017.” The only mention of the pandemic in this
statement at all was to claim that “thanks to a historic government-labor-
airlines partnership, forged during an unprecedented global pandemic,
airline pilots are more than ready to safely get passengers to their
destinations this holiday season.”
Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA and a
leading member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), praised the
CDC for recommendations that “recognize concerns raised by our union,” by
adding the toothless caveat quarantine can be limited to five days “only if
asymptomatic and with continued mask wearing for an additional five days.”
In fact, aviation workers have increasingly been forced to work when they
should be in quarantine. Workers whose significant others have tested
positive have been ordered to report to work despite the danger of infection
. The five-day quarantine period, enacted for business reasons rather than
for public health reasons, has made every workplace in the US an unsafe work
environment.
A Southwest Airlines flight attendant told the World Socialist Web Site that
she was told to report to work during the holidays even after being
infected with COVID-19. She said, “I worked on December 21 and the 22,
which I believe is when I was exposed because there were several passengers
not wearing their masks correctly. All we are supposed to do now is make one
announcement [about wearing masks] and that is it.”
Over the weekend, 157,272 people were in hospitals in the United States,
with 25,173 in intensive care units. The daily average in hospital
admissions is at 148,782, which is an 80 percent increase from just two
weeks ago.
With ALPA, the AFA, the TWU and other airline unions colluding in the attack
on workers, airline workers must resort to joining the growing network of
independent and international rank-and-file committees in order to protect
their lives and livelihoods. The struggle must be taken out of the hands of
the pro-corporate unions and placed into the hands of an independent working
class working together internationally to prioritize workers’ lives over
corporate profit. | w********9

JAN 13 2022
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said about 8,000 of its 75,000 employees
tested positive for Covid-19 over the last four weeks, absences that marred
the company’s financial results during a busy holiday travel season.
。。。
A series of winter storms and airline crews sidelined by omicron infections
contributed to more than 20,000 U.S. flight cancellations industrywide
between Christmas Eve and the first week of January. United Airlines CEO
Scott Kirby on Monday said 3,000 of its close to 70,000 U.S. employees were
positive for Covid. | c***s
