I guess I missed the part where any of this was optional vs required.

Spirit requires all pilots to wear a mask anytime in the terminal or on the flight deck with the door open, once it’s closed, you’re free to take the mask off, or keep it on if you prefer. This is the policy, no different than a operation
policy or a flight profile. The company that signs my checks sets the policies and I get paid to see that they are carried out.

It isn’t that hard. Sad that this has become a political movement now. Just do what your company says or find a new gig, plenty of guys will be happy to wear a mask come October 1. Get some perspective
