As much as masks have become an identity symbol for some (including POTUS and both houses of Congress controlled by the same party as POTUS), I don’t see this EO ending before it expires. Honestly I think there might even be a slim chance it is extended if they keep hyping the delta variant.
i think this is accurate. Masks are a symbol of safety for many. Even if the federal mandate goes away I think most companies will still require it for crews and a few will probably require it for pax. It’s insane how much psychological damage has been done to this country since March 2020.

Thankfully, it always has been optional in our cockpits.
Of course, we still have to participate in Covid theater on airlines and in FBOs or businesses that post the requirement.
Maybe there is hope for airline crew yet.

Otherwise, it is completely optional.

I see this a lot in restaurants. Waiters are still wearing them while serving patrons. This is in a state that rescinded the mask policy early on. I can kind of see us (or at least FAs) in that same group.
