Just got off a work call with an executive who's got connections high up at Delta Airlines..
👀 EYES ON! 👀
He claims that per this Delta rep, they will no longer be mandating masks after March 18! I don't know about y'all, but I really feel like good news is coming!
They let my 7 year old go maskless the whole flight to HI on Wednesday! Never said a word to him
This. We flew from Houston to Montana and back a couple of weeks ago. Other than the recordings telling everyone to mask up, only had one person say anything to us or kids in 8 hours and 4 flights. Everyone, including the people working the flights, is sick of it. You’re in a tin can hurtling through the air at 35,000 feet with 350+ of your closest friends. Whatever anyone has, you’re all gonna get, regardless of useless face diapers. If we all refuse to comply, what the heck can they do about it? Ground the flight and lose more money?
We’re not rude or confrontational about it, because we’re the ones who decided to fly and knew the “rules” beforehand. We just don’t wear them ... unless someone says something, then we roll our eyes and put it on.
Planes don't recirculate cabin air, so you're just as likely to get sick sitting next to someone in the terminal as on the plane, it really depends on proximity. But I think the altitude changes and travel lowers your immunity anyway, not that masks can help that.
