Mask mandate extension
NBC news reporting that the TSA is considering extending the mask mandate until mid March. This despite a complete lack of definitive scientific data yet regarding the so-called “Omicron” variant.
2/3 of disruptive passenger incidents involve masks. For many US residents the ONLY time they are required to wear a mask is when they chose to fly. Passengers and crew members were told that with the air circulation on aircraft it was safer to fly than to go to buy groceries, yet for most Americans picking up stuff for dinner does NOT require a mask. On the surface it would appear this has as much to do with the federal government exerting control on one of the few areas they can than anything else. |
Whatever.
Like I ‘splain to my kids - I don’t make the rules, I just play the game. |
Mask mandate extension
Masks will likely be a permanent thing for air travel until a new regime takes over unfortunately. So many people get the warm and fuzzies of feeling “safer” with the mask on even though they go on with their daily lives without them. AFA is pushing hard for them to be a permanent thing despite their members getting assaulted and berated by pax on a regular basis

So did we win the 100 day mask challenge or what?

Disgusting. I'm really glad I live in Florida where I don't have to worry about anymore of this covid bs other than when I go to work.

I feel like banning men with beards (plus especially hairy women) from planes because their masks don't seal effectively would probably save some lives.

EDIT, hopefully we can keep it civil, but unlike a lot of topics discussed here, politics is at the core of this topic. |
