DOT debate: Domestic Covid test requirement

Too little too late? "Hey we've kept you afloat for the last year....deal with it."
I know JetBlue has come out publicly against such a mandate.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t data shown that you’re much less likely to catch Covid on an airliner than most other places? I don’t believe the current data suggests people are more at risk during air travel. That would negate his argument that this would help airlines because people would feel more safe with regards to air travel. If this is carried out, it will cripple every single airline.

With case numbers coming down fast I can’t see the general public having an appetite for this..

The place to place spread I get. But that should have no bearing on how safe people feel with airline travel, which is what Buttigieg suggested. We need to be showing people exactly what the data suggests, which is catching Covid while onboard an airliner is extremely unlikely. Let’s not let facts get in the way of government agenda though.

People aren't afraid to fly. They are afraid of the labyrinth of nutty, off the wall, restrictions on the other end and whether they will be able to have an enjoyable vacation or one of hotel quarantine and closed parks and restaurants. Once we open up people will travel again. Iowa has lifted the mask mandate. I think Florida may be next.

Saying "people aren't afraid to fly," is downright naive. People understandably don't want to be in planes during an airborne pandemic. I get it.

I think the restrictions and testing signal to the public that it's still a danger and add to people's apprehension (aside from it being a nuisance).
