“The matter was a clear misunderstanding on the part of both parties,” Frontier said in a statement to Fox News Tuesday. “The gate agent mistakenly believed that the passenger’s gaiter style mask was not acceptable within our mask policy and the passenger grossly misinterpreted the reasoning behind her objection to his mask.”

Had he worn this there would not have been an issue.

It was the type of mask that they squawked about.

I googled and found several through redbubble and amazon.

This is my personal fave: https://www.teepublic.com/mask/10819170-make-orwell-fiction-again-t-shirt (made from t-shirt material which is why it says ‘t-shirt’)

I especially like how the border design is the same as the Trump sign!

I'd challenge the gate agent to show the written policy regarding "might offend".

It doesn't matter.. you have to follow their instructions whether written or not.

He put on the approved mask but then covered it with the gaither style mask.
I silly but they were not complaining about the flag motif.

Reasoning (which is accurate): If someone is seen wearing a Black Lives Matter mask, almost no one will have the nerve to say anything about it for fear of starting a major conflict.

However, if an American Flag facemask is worn, someone can say it is offensive and no one will speak up to defend it. It's an easy decision to make to avoid controversy.

Whoa. Doesn't Frontier have a connotation that characterizes the American expansion? This is nothing short of imperial conquest.

Demand that they change their name!

Yet they’re telling me i’m supposed to hide the AMERICAN FLAG except when BURNING IT?!

THEY F*CKING OFFEND ME

I’d have gone all Karen on the gate agent and asked to speak to his supervisor.

The airline has since called the incident a misunderstanding, saying that the airline has a policy banning certain styles of masks, but not the image of a flag. The federal air marshal (FAM) was wearing a gaiter-style mask.

“The matter was a clear misunderstanding on the part of both parties,” Frontier said in a statement to Fox News Tuesday. “The gate agent mistakenly believed that the passenger’s gaiter style mask was not acceptable within our mask policy and the passenger grossly misinterpreted the reasoning behind her objection to his mask.”

Yep. In another article, they say Nancy Pelosi got her hair done in San Diego. It was actually San Francisco.

“The matter was a clear misunderstanding on the part of both parties,”

which of course would not be an issue at all if people would get their butts out of their brains and realize that we don’t need to wear these idiotic face diapers...

right...?
