Last time I was there a few weeks ago, no one asked me to wear a mask.

In the simulator I won't wear a mask. I don't wear one on the flight deck. Masks inhibit communication. I haven't work an O2 mask in 18 months, and i am sure we won't be for the next 3 to 5 years.

There's no perfect answer or solution. if Flexibility is the key to air power then flexibility too is the key to successful training events. No mask for me. If FO wants to wear a mask that's fine. I just might say "say again" a whole lot of times.

The company isn't issuing N95 or KN95 masks. Those may work, but everything else is junk; based on junk science. But, really need eye shield or face shield to really make the mask credible and effective.
