United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said he knows of fewer than 10 employees who have resigned over the company's vaccine mandate.

Kirby told CNN on Thursday that about 90% of United's US employees had shown the airline proof of their vaccination. He thought the majority of the remaining workers had been vaccinated but hadn't uploaded evidence yet, he said.

In August, United Airlines became the first US carrier to mandate vaccines for all US-based employees. Staff must be fully vaccinated no later than September 27 — a date five weeks after the Food and Drug Administration fully approved Pfizer-BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine.

Speaking about how many employees had quit over the mandate, he said: "In a large company, it's a handful."
