Really don't want this thread to turn into a vaccine debate, but your likeliness of working here unvaccinated, or any major airline besides Spirit or Frontier (the only two I believe still don't have the mandate) is extremely unlikely. You're required to be vaccinated the first day of orientation, and show proof of such. If you've been offered a class date, I'd reach out to recruitment pretty quickly to try the get an exemption, but getting a medical exemption is pretty much impossible unless you already have a critical disease or severe allergy to the vaccination ingredients, and sincerely held religious exemptions are also pretty difficult to receive, looking at just the military they're denying almost all of them.
Again, not starting a debate on the vaccine itself, just the facts of the current state of things.

Without getting into Political arguments. Being vaccinated is a current requirement for new hires at jetblue, it’s listed in the info provided to interview. Its also industry standard for almost all US Major airlines now to require it of new hires. It’s different for those who were on property pre-CoVid. I’d reach out about an exemption sooner rather than later. But I’d set expectations low. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong or that I agree or don’t.. Just giving info that’s out there.

MOD INPUT: You can factually discuss *airline specific* covid vaccine policies in the airline forums. Basically limited to Q&A and clarification.
For covid/vaccine philosophical debates, go to the covid fourm.

No idea. Some classmates in Orlando that had a shorter break than me have had lots of delays - one got 11 days off randomly from cancelations. Another got 7 unexpected days off and then another 4 off. To be clear, the instructors here have all been great and are working really hard. There just aren’t enough of them.
