Southwest Airlines is joining other major carriers in requiring passengers and employees who interact with them to wear face masks.

Starting Sunday, the Dallas-based airline’s employees who have contact with passengers will be required to don face coverings. Passengers will be required starting May 11.

JetBlue started the trend April 27 when it said travelers would have to cover their noses and mouths during trips, beginning next week. Delta, Alaska, United and American quickly followed.

I called for all airline passengers to wear masks months ago.

Why not have every passenger use the plane’s oxygen masks through the entire flight?

They’re not grounded.

They just have no customers.

So how long is this “mask required” B.S. going to last? Forever?

How pussified can a nation become before it finally falls?

For how long? Where do you get a mask? Do they provide it? How do I drink my vodka tonic?

“Do they provide it?”

No, and they do not provide you with a mask, just like they do not provide you with a pants and a shirt if you show up to a flight naked.

Who didn’t see this coming... and ...

They will save money on stopping beverage service. They will probably have masks available for a charge a good price if they don’t approve the one you bring or don’t have one. And if you don’t comply, they’ll have you arrested.

It’s enough to make me stop flying, and not travel outside the country for a while, maybe quite a while. I am sure I am not alone.

Are you calling for masks at high school basketball games or in theaters or restaurants too ?

There’s a war coming.
It will be mask wearing people against non-mask wearing people. The mask wearing people will force the non-mask wearing people underground. .......

Oh yeah. ...you are right. ....sounds just like Islam. ...
Nope, not Islam, just the new world order. ....

I hate that airline. Worst in the airlines. It’s uncomfortable enough on an airplane and now a mask. I won’t be flying at all for two years at least.

I would be laughed off the plane ....

FINALLY. Now I can visit my family without getting infected!

I’ll let the FluBros whine, while they remain grounded...out of ‘principle’.

Passenger oxygen is only sufficient to enable safe breathing to descend to 10,000 feet.
