As mask rules have caused some controversy on U.S. airlines in recent months, Qatar Airways is taking an even stronger stance by requiring economy passengers and cabin crew to wear both face masks and face shields on board.

why not just put them in suitcases and shove them all in baggage?
Or strap them on the wing with goggles?

Just put them in space suits or at least space helmets and be done with it.
OMG! I thought that was a picture of a Reverend Mother from the new “Dune” movie! I guess I need to get out more!
there is some kind of inflatable suit that Simon Cowell supposedly wore on flights.
I dont remember any of the details. Maybe it was for comfort
I saw a woman come into the grocery store with one of those face shields. I almost laughed out loud.
“””but I use the visor version most of the time.”””
And the smoked glass version is available for the Muslim community.
I guess it is better than seeing the pilot and copilot hurrying towards the back of the plane wearing parachutes.

I cannot imagine what it is like in those burkas in the weather of the middle east.

Teague Industries is a design firm in Seattle that partners with Boeing on its cabin designs. They have built an AirShield system that can be installed in the rack above the passenger seats and creates an air curtain like you see at grocery stores to keep in the AC. The airflow creates a blade of air that isolates each passenger from even sneezes or coughs from the others in their row. It directs the flow down to the HEPA filter intakes on the floor below the windows. It would eliminate the need for masks or face shields entirely.
I think I saw that mark in the grocery yesterday
