I can’t fucking stand this shit. Flew 3 legs a couple weeks back. One of the three flights was pretty clear that it was an FAA regulation but made sure to emphasize that it carried the weight/penalties of federal law.
The other two just flat out called it a federal law.
The fucked up part is that the first is basically true. Congress has completely abdicated their job and basically given federal agencies carte Blanche to do whatever they want anytime they want via “regulations.”
Basically a federal agency does whatever the fuck they want, however unconstitutional (see ATF for best examples) and then if congress doesn’t like it they have to pass a law to nullify the regulations, or a new president is “installed” and his sycophants immediately rewrite all the regulations to do whatever they want, and congress has to fight to pass a law to stop it.
Our government was never intended to function in this way - and it’s why the “deep state” has so much power.
Southwest says it’s federal law. I’m pretty sure there’s a difference between law and mandate. The airlines are taking money left and right from the federal government. They are happy to add misery to their customers. Most airlines require handicapped children and autistic children and adults to wear a mask. Not all do- so there are ways around this bullshit. Bad decisions all around by the woke corporations.
On a flight I was on recently the flight attendant was haranguing some lady behind us the whole flight.
Every five seconds:
“Ma’am, you need to put your mask on between bites.”
“Ma’am, you need to put your mask on between bites.”
“Ma’am, you need to put your mask on between bites.”
I don’t think the flight attendant did anything but stare at this woman the whole flight because she kept saying it over and over - with miscellaneous threats mixed in about how she was going to take her food away if she wouldn’t comply.
Yes, that works with typical children and adults. But handicapped and mentally disabled children and adults who don’t understand and are stressed by the mask should not be required to wear one. No one should, but unfortunately, this category (as well as toddlers) are essentially prohibited from flying.
The only real Federal law in the whole story was the guy that flew them home free. If he took one dollar the FAA would come down on him for being an unlicensed carrier, and not having a commercial license
My brothers two year old made a lincoln log house out of dog turds she found the other day. Probably not the ideal candidate for mask wearing not gonna lie. Kids have better shit to be annoyed about than the bullshit we deal with in real life
There’s an opportunity here for an Uber type system to get people and pilots together. Just remember the flight is free but pilots get tipped really REALLY well.
IT'S NOT A FREAKING FEDERAL LAW!!!

Excellent comment. Theyre ruled by "Executive Authority" for decades and decades. Our country was not founded for this
Mandate is not a law. Gaslighting.

Take a sip of water every few minutes?

I wonder if that lady was secretly trolling that flight attendant. Slowly eating her food without her mask to annoy the Nazi.
I hope so

It’s CRAZY.
Didn't biden sign an EO making it mandatory for federal/gov agencies?
PDX airport has road signs saying due to presidential order...blah blah...
I am downvoting you because I hate Portland and you reminded me of my hatred.
We have the most brutal honesty folks, believe me.
It's cool I zeroed him back out just to keep it real
Is it bad i want to see one of these people kicking people off flights beat into a coma.
And left lying with a mask shoved up their ass
And in their throat hole too. And when/if they finally come to, they're amnesiac the rest of their life.
No, it shows you like seeing good triumph over evil.
Totally natural reaction to an unnatural sacrament

i bet that pilot isn't from austin.
Good god two year olds still shit their damn pants, how in hell are you supposed to get them to keep a mask on?!?!
My brothers two year old made a lincoln log house out of dog turds she found the other day. Probably not the ideal candidate for mask wearing not gonna lie. Kids have better shit to be annoyed about than the bullshit we deal with in real life
Exactly! I think it’s abusive to think little babies should have masks on.
Great story. Thanks for sharing it.
We have the best Texans
God bless this pilots kind soul
Probably safer to fly a single-engine than flying Fag Air.
I'd trust the pilot more when they're not a diversity hire.

This is the type of hero we need. That flight cost that man a lot of money and time.. We need more people like him to stand up!
