These Internet videos of people going nuts over the masks are ridiculous. Simply don’t shop at that business.

Now put the dang thing on while the door is open and anytime you go out. For bonus points ask your partner that may be flying with 30 different pilots a month three feet away if they mind if you remove it now that the door is closed.

This is not hard.
It was sarcasm, I enforce the mask rule on my flights.

Is spirit making it mandatory for employees to wear masks at work?

flying with a new pilot every day? I haven’t flown with anyone in almost 4 months. These guys flying with different pilots every day must be raking it in.


But I agree. Company says wear it, then we wear it. It really isn’t that big of a deal.

As a reserve you can fly with several people in one day.

As someone doing turns you could fly w a different person every work day

Yep its mandatory. Still got plenty of weirdos who think it doesn't apply to them. The fact they do it in front of customers and in the terminal is what I'm super mad about. Quite literally puts our jobs at risk. That said this stupidity isn't spirit specific- its somehow become a political issue.

Do you say anything to them?

Wheres outrage that the government requires us to wear seatbelts on airplanes or may require a pilot to wear corrective lenses too? Such a small -and temporary- sacrifice to live in a society. I had relatives sacrifice their lives for the country and I’m just being asked to wear a face mask. So many other things to whine about.

I get that, but not so much in mask wearing times. I’d say in busy times, money here has flown with 30 different pilots in one month, but it’s irrelevant. Semantics.

If you're not just flame baiting, I'm pretty sure I've flown with you. Are you the guy who doesn't wash his hands after peeing in the forward lav because "My d*** is the cleanest part of my body?" The same guy who said he would shoot somebody if they told him he couldn't go to church during quarantine? (I'll give you a pass on that one because I'm sure that's what Jesus would do.) (Sarcasm.)
And if it is you, my avatar should give me away, so it's not an anonymous screen name.

Wear the mask. It’s not hard. Eat something slowly with the mask displaced if you need a break from jungle breath to the face.
