Actual evidence that they work is sort of sparse though:

Man up, wear the mask and if you hate it take a COLA.

There will be two types of pilots in October, furloughed or working 95+ hr credit lines.

This is how I see it. Outside the arguments of if masks are useful or not, a lot of people believe they do. United wants to survive so they need passengers to regain confidence in flying. Requiring mask use is one of the best ways right now to get people confident enough to pack themselves in a full metal tube for several hours during a pandemic. It would look REALLY bad if they are strict about passenger mask wearing while their employees are seen not abiding by the same guidelines. Whether it is in ORD/IAD or an outstation we represent United. Now is not the time to get on United's bad side, hence AWAC being so strict about employee mask wearing. Last time I checked I like having a job and angering United is the fastest way to lose flying.

The airlines are struggling to survive and lure passengers back into the air. We (airlines) are trying to give them a peace of mind with all of the C19 mitigation efforts.
