ignore ANY bad behavior airborne? Nope, and not what I said. Ignore a mask violation and just report it to company via acars, skypro, redcoat, take your pick of conflict resolution team members? Maybe contact dispatch for guidance and calmer more reasonable thinking folks trained in that exact situation? Yeah, lots of better options.
The rule is, masks are to be worn. If the guy takes it off when they get airborne and refuses to even pretend to wear it, what are they supposed to do? Selective enforcement of rules destroys what ever credibility they had in the first place. It isn't that far removed from passengers self-upgrading.
