I don’t really know how that works. From what I understand you have to somehow prove a medical or long standing religious reason for accommodation. According to the application site, you have to either be vaccinated or granted accommodation from United to be considered for employment.

Honestly, the best source is to look at the careers site for each airline. Most seem to point to Airline Apps, but once you get to the listing for a FO position, it usually very clearly states what the requirements are.

They may not explain in writing how accomodating they are, or are not, when it comes to granting exemptions.

Default Any Updates?

Can anyone verify or add to this list as of October 2022 for vaccine mandates for pilots?
UPS - required hard to get exemption
Fedex - not required
Delta - required but you can get an exemption
United - required almost impossible to get an exemption
AA - required easy to get exemption
Southwest- required easy to get exemption
Jetblue- required hard to get exemption
Frontier- required easy to get exemption
Spirit - not required
Atlas- required hard to get exemption

Any updates appreciated. Now that even Canada has dropped their mandate it seems like the only reason there are mandates at all is the Executive Order.

I can’t help but wonder about the eventual legal status of these requirements. Don’t get me wrong, I think you ought to be immunized if you haven’t already been immunized or had COVID (although there are few of those left) but the business rationale for making you take an immunization that neither stops you from getting or spreading an illness seems a little weak.

Eventually someone denied or deferred employment is going to get before a sympathetic judge and I’m not sure the company involved will like the result.
