It is all about virtue signaling. Being a “good” and “courteous” person.
It doesn’t really matter if it is effective or not as long as you act like it is.

If you need oxygen, you're in an emergency situation. Take the fraction of a second to remove your mask as your donning the o² mask. Emergency. Deviate from far's and fom as needed. You think in the aftermath of a smoke in the cabin or depressurization incident anyone will find fault with you removing your mask? Keep in mind, the oxygen equipment IS a mask, probably even giving you better protection than the bandana or well used paper mask.

This is how you can tell this isnt about actual safety, but merely to make people feel better. Up until Covid 19, any health professional would have told you things like bandanas do absolutely nothing to prevent spread of a virus. Youre putting cloth on your face for no good reason at all.

The company isnt telling people to wear a mask while operating, you are...
