CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT v. KALITTA AIR, LLC, and CONRAD (“CONNIE”) KALITTA

Kalitta Air was named in a lawsuit filed yesterday for refusing to accommodate employees
exempt from the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Loyal mechanics, pilots,
dispatchers, and leaders who dedicated years of their lives to Kalitta have now lost their
livelihoods because they could not take the vaccine for medical or religious reasons. While
those employees had worked safely throughout the pandemic—and had the ability to
continue doing so—Kalitta ignored requests for reasonable accommodations to their
mandate.

Regrettably, the company’s policy is nothing more than an unlawful policy decision by
management that failed to follow federal anti-discrimination laws, the example of other
companies, CDC guidance, and common sense. Rather than follow the law, Kalitta chose to
hurt loyal employees and their families—all while claiming to be a “family” company.

While many have been able to find other work at companies that do not mistreat their
employees, some Kalitta workers are still without jobs for months and all of them have been
harmed by the company’s actions. We expect Kalitta to restore people’s livelihoods and
make right the damage they caused in illegally enforcing their vaccine mandate against those
unable to take the shot. We also hope that Kalitta will begin promoting an inclusive work
environment, free from further abuse, discrimination, and retaliation. Thank you.
