Mask off for preflt briefing or talking on radio though, difficult to hear a briefing through a mask over all the fans.
I agree. Right now it’s just another way for us to let the flight attendants know that we’ve got their backs. In the bus people look in on us all the time, it’s my opinion that if the door is open the mask is on. We want our passengers to feel confident that enough is being done to book with us again and again until we all get through this. It’s an opportunity to lead by example. I totally dislike having to wear a mask, but it’s a small inconvenience and one worth enduring.
