Hoping to get a job with an airline as travel picks back up? You’d better get your shot. At one airline, at least.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said on Thursday that the airline will require all new hires to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Bastian’s comments came during an interview with Richard Quest on CNN.
Existing employees will be encouraged to get the jab, but will not be penalized if they choose not to, Bastian said.
“I’m not going to mandate and force people if they have some specific reason why they don’t want to get vaccinated,” Bastian said. “One caveat to that — any person joining Delta in the future we’re going to mandate they be vaccinated before they can sign up with the company.”
More than 60% of Delta’s staff has been vaccinated so far, the airline wrote in a blog post, and Bastian said that he expects an eventual rate of 75-80% among current employees. The airline has hosted vaccination clinics for employees at Atlanta Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport, its headquarters and largest hub.
The requirement for new hires takes effect on May 17, the airline said in the blog post, and will be waived for those who “qualify for an accommodation,” although it was not clear what would be considered qualifying. At press time, the requirement was not listed in open job postings on Delta’s website.
“This is an important move to protect Delta’s people and customers, ensuring the airline can safely operate as demand returns and as it accelerates through recovery and into the future,” the airline said in the posted statement. “Vaccines are safe, effective and essential to the future of the airline and our world.”

Wouldnt want to work for them
But if you do, lawsuit time
Because experimental “vaccines” require informed consent.
When does HIPAA come into play in all of this?...
You must be Experimented on to get a job ?
DELTA hasn’t died yet ?
It doesn’t.
agree- let’s hope the lawsuits start to pile a mile high.
Might work for new hires. For existing employees it would change the terms of employment.
Take an experimental vaccine that has injured and killed people, or no job
Yep thats incredibly illegal
Then they responsible for any side effects, no?
They keep saying the vaccine is safe, although it’s only been deployed less than half a year. Conversely, the press labeled HCQ dangerous where that drug has a 50 year track record. I wonder what the difference i$?
The worlds worst airline flexes its muscle...
Yawn...
Then, on March 23, a bill that would prevent employers from requiring the COVID-19 vaccine or mandating proof of vaccination passed in the Assembly. It still has to pass the Senate before it can head to Governor Tony Evers’ desk.
So states can override.
Wouldn’t that be a violation if HIPPA?
So he is admitting that at least 20-25% of current employees will refuse the jab, yet wants all new hires to get it.
I just found out that an arbitration clause was tucked into our annual employee forms which were like 20 pages long and of course they wouldn’t mention it outright so they started mandating vaccines tomorrow unless you have a doctor’s signature on the medical form that exempts you. (I got it) but they keep implementing new criteria every month it seems.
What if he doesn’t have any takers?
