Are airlines still requiring the jab to get hired?

This person has walked back so many statements he's made that it's a wonder anyone listens to him anymore. And don't get me started on his questionable ethics.
Definitely not a 'good' doc.

I think most are. Spirit isn't and I'm sure there a few other exceptions but for the most part yes.

The daughter of a good friend was just hired by his airline (they should get to fly together before he retires which is cool). They accepted her request for vaccine exemption.

Your mileage will definitely vary.
