You bring up a good point. It was FA’s that pushed this agenda. Ironic now that they are the ones bearing the brunt of the abuse. Careful what you ask for.

FWIW, there is supposed to be an announcement tomorrow (Thursday) about new travel rules going into effect.

More Covid tests on the front end and back end of travel, most likely. Self-quarantines of 5-7 days also being discussed.

Mask theatre is the least of the industry's worries. Feel bad for the FA's though. Both for having to wear them all the time and having to deal with compliance issues.

😂😂😂 either masks seal or they don’t.

none of that matters. Facts have largely taken a backseat to fear and paranoia in policy decisions handling this so far, why would that change.

Everything the government does is the result of politics, left, right, or otherwise. Which is why it's best for the government to do as little as possible.

poetic justice?

If an FA is paranoid enough about facemasks to be emotionally and verbally abusive to passengers then maybe they get what they deserve?

Facemasks are totally ineffective at reducing community-wide spread of COVID.

We passed that off ramp 18 months ago.

Masks are never going away because we let them do this to us.

I told you this almost 2 years ago. When WE decide its enough it ends.

Until then it'll be the Karen's running around screaming "govern me harder, daddy" And they will oblige.

They still won't come out and say that this was a virus manufactured in China funded by the US.

there we go
