Not at AS, but it’s become somewhat of a reflex to put the mask on when someone comes into the flight deck. Too many complaints to risk the ire of management. Also seems somewhat polite when considering how spooled up some people get about non-maskers, as irrational is it may be. About a month back a random passenger took a picture of me, mask-less, in the cockpit from the terminal window and promptly posted it to social media blasting me and the company for insensitivity. This is the bizarro world in which we live.
