I don't think it is realistic for pilots to make emergency landings to kick out passengers who refuse to wear mask...
Then it’ll be up the seat mates to start the fight or at least socially shame the miscreant not wearing a mask. HOW DARE YOU! Or, ‘If you can’t decide to wear a mask or not, you ain’t black!’
The flight attendants union thinks the passengers are cattle. The airlines are the only industry where complaining about the service is considered a “threat”, and they’re part of that insanity.
The Plandemic has driven higher value passengers to the fractionals and that’s a good thing. They won’t go back to being wards of the soda servers now that they’ve seen the other side.
The rest of us...probably oughta buy a nice cross country sedan, and use Webex for everything else.
If you’re nervous and think it will help- or if you have a cough or a runny nose - wear one, otherwise don’t. But at least get a real one. These silly little masks they’re handing out do virtually nothing (Except in the case of people actively coughing or sneezing, where they partially block the droplets) and are all psychological, so people who are truly terrified should invest in a real mask.
Next, President Trump is seen on viral video on Air Force One without a mask. A regulation was violated. Dems impeach and remove him from office.
When was the last time an exaggeration about the crazy Dem ploys was wrong ? Schiff probably has a laptop bookmark for that strategy right now.
Every person I see at the grocery store not wearing a mask, I walk up to them and thank them. They always smile.
I have a voucher from Southwest for a cancelled flight. If they require masks when I go to use it, I’ll demand my money back. I don’t need to sit next to a miniature pony either.
If I were flying now I would wear a mask and I’d hope others onboard would too. To promote that, the airline should offer a mask to anyone who showed up without one. If the person won’t put it on, maybe they shouldn’t be allowed to board.
I don’t think as a passenger I should start a row if another passenger took their mask off during a flight or that the plane should land instead of finishing the flight.
If ia am wearing a mask it protects you from me. And vice versa. A plane is one of the places where I would probably wear one. I don’t need anyone “requiring” me to do anything.
I’ve sat next to enough nasty people on planes to have thought about masking up decades ago.
You do what you want. I don’t say that in a hateful way, but in a “you make your own call” way.
The airlines are currently in an existential threat position. With 96% of their business wiped out, few will remain in a few months. Several will merge to try to stay alive. Adding any stupidity to the mix is just asking to be gone.
If someone wants to wear a mask, OK, but no one else needs to since that magical mask protects them. The rest of us do not need to participate in someone else’s nosophobia.
Good news!
Ya know, with all this drama about mask-wearing and social distancing and passengers who demand those things and passengers who hate those things, commercial air travel is going be even more of a sh-tshow than it already was. And it was already a pretty big one.
Just ran the numbers. Last six years, I’ve averaged slightly more than 3 flights per year. I think I can pretty easily cut that number to 0. There’s nowhere I really need to be that I can’t drive to. So maybe I’m out. Not great news for the airlines if a fair number of others just say, “Forget it.”
If you aren’t wearing mask on a plane it makes me want to wear one to protect me from you.
It’s not worth having their flight attendants get into shouting or wrestling matches with those who’s instinct is to rebel. Besides, the airlines are deep in the red and need the business. Most likely, the indoctrinated passengers will be the ones most upset. Many have been conditioned to feel ‘in great danger’ from unmasked people in their spaces.
I have family members like that. One cousin who takes pride in telling how she yells at people to get out of her safe space.
Has anyone flown Alaska Airlines recently? Just curious about how they’re handling this.
Those cute little pink virus thingies are so smart. They know to back off during food and beverage service.
Are they going to force young muslim males to wear a mask over their beard?
(muffled) alla snackbar.
Coming to an Airline near you, Mask Class and No Mask Class.
Are the Flight Attendants wiping down the Bathrooms with Bleach every time someone uses them?
All three airlines have allowed exemptions on their face covering policies for young children and people with medical conditions or disabilities. The policies also do not apply while a passenger is eating or drinking.

More kabuki mask theater. If this virus were that deadly or turned people into zombies, does one think there would be a time-out to remove your mask for dining?
