This is the correct solution. I have no problem if one pilot decides they want to wear a mask, but insisting, either Captain or F/O, the other do the same is a safety issue that by far exceeds any health risk science has determined from the virus.
Stay at home all you who insist others bow to your ideas and demands about masks. You are a safety hazard to the operation of our airplanes.
