Vaccination

Do airlines require vaccines for employment?

Darrell,

Most Airlines require some form of vaccinations.

To get current information, it would be best to call or email their individual recruiters or search their websites.

Thanks

Darrell,

Depends on the carrier but I don’t believe any vaccines are currently required by any US carriers (other than a few like Atlas who fly into Africa)

Adam

Thanks

United still requires all new hire pilots to have the Yellow Fever and Covid vaccines.

Thanks

Then you’re giving waivers or exemptions. Just saying…

Adam

This is from their website. I have no idea how it is actually being implemented.

Thanks

Chris,

It’s part of the paperwork we submit when offered an interview along with certs, transcripts and such.

I do not know how the exemptions would work at United for new hires. The welcome packet states must have covid vax prior to interview.

I know in late 2021 most Majors were backing Bidens plan to mandate vaccines under the Federal Contractor rule… but my layperson understanding is it’s a grey area, so some airlines rolled back that promise with little of it making recent news.

Happy Holidays,
