United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby on Sunday predicted that the mask mandate for airline passengers will be allowed to expire in September.

In April, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) extended its mask order until September 13 for airports, airplanes, buses and railways.

Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Kirby told host John Dickerson, "My guess is that the current government order expires on September 13 and fingers crossed. My guess is it will expire on September 13, but we'll wait and see for sure."

United can keep their mask mandates forever. Most conservatives will simply avoid that stupid company.

Airline numbers are still in the gutter. Who wants to be treated like a diseased leper and face jail time for any little non-compliance???

In April a friend and myself were threatened by an angry Amtrak conductor with being thrown off the train for taking too much time to enjoy our drinks (water and coffee) without the mask. He said if he saw us again without it, he would put us both off at the next stop. Both of us are seasoned senior citizens who have been vaccinated.

Dim Wit Senator Patty “tennis shoes” Murray announced she will fight to keep the mask mandate in place for safety reasons.

If people refuse to fly while muzzled, muzzles will go away.

It’s that simple.

Did you have to show proof of having had your shots, or a negative test, before boarding?

You are right. September is the beginning of sick season every year. They are locking down Australia right now, we can expect the same as well.

I’m old enough to remember when airline travel was pleasant, when customers were valued and not assumed to be lepers or terrorists.

First airline to do this will come out ahead, I think. Of course, with so very many American women and "men" still so irrationally frightened (of just about everything) and irretrievably ignorant (about masks and the lies about "science" ... it's more accurately called "political science"), maybe people will be too scared to board a plane where everyone isn't masked because it's clear they truly believe their experimental vaccination only works if the unwashed don't wear a mask.

The level of stupidity, gullibility and cowardice in America today is truly astounding ... breathtaking even. It really is!

I remember that. Did a lot of air travel for business back in the 80s. Frequently got upgraded to first class during a flight just because they had room up front.

Stewardess were very friendly and the passengers behaved themselves. Food was good back then too.
