Masks in AOC
I’ll throw this out there ... it is widely recommended to wear face masks when social distancing isn’t possible. The company and ALPA have emphasized health, safety, and sanitization at every turn. So why are pilots refusing to wear face masks in the AOC during hub turns? More so, why hasn’t the company made it mandatory? Apparently we are required to wear masks now in the Training Buildings, so why the hesitation from the company to require pilots to wear them in the AOC? And why the pushback from a lot of the pilots?

Must be the same genius manager who decided we should wear a yellow vest once we walk out of AOC, or seat belts on the crew bus. Just wait for it; next helmets will be required on walk around.

My favorite though is folks who wear a mask and rubber gloves while alone in their car. That’s a special group.
