The group also called on Biden to end international pre-departure testing..
A group of CEOs from all major U.S. airlines called on resident Joe Biden to lift the federal mask mandate on public transportation.
The group -- which includes the heads of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines -- said current restrictions such as international predeparture testing requirements and the federal mask mandate are "no longer aligned with the realities of the current epidemiological environment."
The group cited .. the lifting of such restrictions in other countries as reasons to do away with the COVID-era policies.
"It makes no sense that people are still required to wear masks on airplanes, yet are allowed to congregate in crowded restaurants, schools and at sporting events without masks, despite none of these venues having the protective air filtration system that aircraft do,"...
In addition, the group said the burden of enforcing the mask mandate has fallen on their employees, saying, "This is not a function they are trained to perform and subjects them to daily challenges by frustrated customers. This in turn takes a toll on their own well-being."
The number of unruly passengers on planes spiked during the pandemic. This year alone, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received 961 reports of unruly passengers – 635 of which were related to face masks.
...
The letter was signed by CEOs from Alaska Air, Atlas Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, FedEx Express, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, UPS Airlines and Airlines for America.

What’s taken them so long?
People aren’t passengers anymore.
They’re cargo.
Still not flying.
Let people breathe, you power-tripping, demented pretender.
Do it effective immediately or at least by Monday.
I have to fly Tuesday for work.
Fedzilla has been paying them.
I suspect the gravy train is about to come to a screeching stop.
Note to the airlines: Still waiting for a thank you card.
the case is very strong that masks don’t add much, if anything,.

Added bonus: A 1000 percent drop in cases....of “air rage”.
Using those masks to prevent the person to person transmission of an airborne respiratory virus is like using chicken wire to keep out mosquitos.
Those aren’t masks.
They’re muzzles.
end vax requirements. most people’s last vax was so long ago it has absolutely no efficacy today.
They see its an election year I guess.
Finger in the wind people who cowered for the last two years.
This is costing them money that’s for sure.
I think they’ve tried before, and even some Congresscritters have tried to help, but they always get turned down.
My question: since when did some unelected and unaccountable dim-bulb “health” bureaucrats get to be in charge of all US and world life?
And how can we stop them?

They have tried before.
Brandon put a stop to them.
The unelected and unaccountable have been in charge, since the china virus’ Lord Fraudci took the reins.
We’ve cancelled TWO major trips ($$$), so far.
No sweat, for us....we keep our money and don’t have to abide by their absurd mask rules.
I don’t give a damn about the people who cowered for the last two years. Those imbeciles are exactly what we don’t need, now or ever. Gutless, brainless, servile morons. They are the people that drag everyone else into tyranny and servitude with them. To hell with them all.
“A group of CEOs from all major U.S. airlines called on resident Joe Biden ...”

Aargh, why did you let yourself be tormented like that ??
Unelected and unaccountable?
