Maskless A action jobs?
 
If masks are the future of 121 passenger airlines I need a change of work. Are there any jobs for experienced pilots where you can not wear a damn muzzle, or at least wear it less?

I thought of Atlas, ATI or whatever, most of those guys probably dont give a **** about masks, but they deadhead you on the passenger carriers, and X hours in the passenger cabin being forced to wear the damn things sounds like exquisite hell.

Only other stuff I can think of would be single-pilot pipeline flying or whatever that doesn’t pay anything. Maybe corporate if the customer doesn’t care about masks?

The problem isn’t in the cockpit it’s the airport and deadheading. I haven’t worn a mask once in the cockpit during this pandemic unless the FAs are giving us a break..

I absolutely hear you. If I were in the position of the FA’s, having to not only muzzle all day, but be a prick to others who want to breathe, I’m pretty sure I’d have quit by now.
Part of me thinks the mask nazis will never let up, but my optimistic side hopes the latest mask extension to September 13 is the last gasp of mind control.
Hopefully, fingers crossed, the optimism is rooted in reality.
Then I see folks double masked on the running trail and I agree with you that the muzzles are forever.
God help us all if the lefties continue in power.

Aerial application. But you would have to upgrade the mask to a full on respirator sometimes. Aerial mapping? Become a drone operator and take pictures for people? Ameriflight or something like that?

Corporates. I was a party today, a dozen pilots—no masks, pax all vaccinated or very socially distanced.

Corporate is definitely the real answer here. The dude/business who just bought the $20MM jet doesn’t give a single solitary frick about masks, and that’s probably why he bought the jet.

I agree but Part 135 and FBO’s still have the mask requirement. Wether they are being followed or enforced is a whole other question..
