Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian told NBC’s Today that the company has already added 100 travelers to its “no fly list” over refusal to wear masks.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian said it has already added 100 people to a “do not fly” list for their refusal to don appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Even those unable to wear a mask are out of luck, according to the new policy.

I WISH some Karen would yell at me in a store about a mask or ban me on a flight.
So, if you're banned from flying for not wearing a mask what're you gonna do, tough guy?
What the derp for?
“We implemented a new procedure this week because we’ve had some customers indicate that they have underlying condition that makes wearing a mask dangerous for them,” Bastian said during his appearance on Today. “We’ve told them that you may not want to fly, to reconsider whether air travel is the right form of transportation.”

The airline would rather risk an ADA lawsuit rather than the wrath of the Karens.
“So, if you’re banned from flying for not wearing a mask what’re you gonna do, tough guy?”
Why did you assume it is something physical?
In the airline industry, Delta Airlines is known for not cleaning their airplanes. I would never fly on a Delta flight. A simple virus is the least of anyone’s worries. There is more piss and puke on their seats and carpets than on the floor of a dozen public bathrooms.
Some ADA lawyer is going to come in there and have a field day on this one.
Rainmaker of a case, for sure.
Might even scrape together enough payout to retire from this one case.
I walked into Walmart yesterday without a mask and the employee at the door said I needed to wear a mask. I told him that some experts say masks help and others say they do more harm than good, and my experts are the latter, so I choose not to wear one. He let me in without a mask.
And, truth be told, that is what this comes down to.
Getting kicked off a flight and banned from an airline. Yeah, that’ll show ‘em!!!
When asked about no mask I just say “whoops, I left it in the car” and they let me go on by.
I’ve flown Delta for 40+ years, as well as American, United, and a bevy of other now-defunct airlines. My experience is very different from yours. The worst for me has always been American; surly flight attendants, indifferent gate agents, and filthy seats, trays, and bathrooms.
As for cleanliness in the Covid-19 era, this article may be of interest:

“A study shows...” is ALWAYS propaganda.
I can make a study show that eating dog poop is tastier than a pizza.
You can barely say “boo” in an aircraft terminal without being taken to be strip-searched and arrested. So, what are you going to do? Taunt them with sarcasm?
My son flies for Delta as an attendant and he says they have very strong measures that are us d to clean and disenfect their planes.
Try lawsuit. Did that not enter your thoughts?
Oh, and before you say something stupid like “private company rights”, think “public conveyance”.
We recently had to fly (my wife's mother's funeral) and Delta seemed, by far, the most organized of the airlines from check-in through baggage claim.
No middle seats sold unless you were in the traveling group. They were calling people up just a few at a time to board. Planes were cleaner than usual and spare masks, hand sanitizer and the like were freely distributed with more available on request.
Competitors like Spirit were selling every seat, had large clusters of people crowding at the counter and, other than the masks, you wouldn't know there was a pandemic at their gates and counter. My experience with American has also been the same as yours.
It’s their incubator tube so they make the rules.
Well, maybe not ALWAYS, as you say, but I have long thought that many researchers are more concerned about their future grant money than the pursuit of replicable data.
However, you are certainly right that “studies show,” or variants thereof, is a deceptive bit of journalese.
I reserve my particular contempt for “expert,” particularly in the active tense of “experts say.”
I’m not sure whether I ever used this news story cliché when I was a young reporter. But I absolutely banished it from my copy once I got comfortable with the craft of newswriting — and I urged the rookie reporters I coached to do the same.
