Lots of that where I live, that kind of intellectual disability is why we're in this mess.

It's the only way to keep himself from licking the inside of his car windows.

What kind of masks are some of you wearing that you can’t hear people talking? Quit making up excuses and wear a damn mask like you wear a tie and epaulets as your employer who signs your paycheck ask you to do.

It’s not that hard and it’s not against any constitutional right. If you think that it is, then show up to work naked next tomorrow and see how far you get.

If I was flying with you I would insist that you wear your damn mask the ENTIRE flight- just because you sound like a tool- and just in case being a tool is contagious.

As soon as the cockpit door was closed I would take my tie off also.

i would do this the next tomorrow for the entire three or four day trip.

It’s guys like you that make coming to work a real downer.

LOL. I get along great with every crew I fly with. You can’t make me wear a mask when the company says you can’t once the door is closed prior to pushback. Call a domicile manager and state your argument. You’re the tool. The fact that this whole thread even exists is ridiculous.

It is already a requirement at my regional. What's so feaking hard about wearing it with the door open that you gotta close the door? At any rate, I'm a firm no to wearing it during flight operations. It impedes communication.

On a side note, I went to the tire department at Costco a few days ago and just straight up could not understand the girl standing behind the plexiglass talking thru her mask. Pretty sure she couldn't hear me either and I ended up going somewhere else to buy tires. I understand the need for safety but if I cannot easily conduct a business transaction then I'm out.
People read lips. Audio alone - especially muffled audio - is insufficient. Wear the mask in public view - behind the door, please take it off. I've forgotten before - as it's become habit to have it on. Picking up drive thru or a mobile order I wear it - drive away with it on. No big deal.

Some of you shouldn’t have a first class medical if you can’t hear someone speaking through a mask.

I wonder how surgeons have completed 10 hour surgeries while everyone in the room is wearing a mask and a face shield for decades?

Hand signals, there are over 42 different medical hand signals. The most familiar, of course, is the snap of the rubber glove during your physical.
