The policies that people agree to before flying...?

It's the same thing as breaking a contract to me.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about that either.

If anyone is mad at me, it's because they don't know me personally.

I see it like men being required to wear a jacket at the 21 Club (for those unaware: it's a super fancy restaurant in Manhattan). It's not tyranny to ask people to follow the rules of a private business.

What IS tyranny is States' mandatory 2 week quarantines.

Believe me, I will feel even more joy about masking policies being canceled then when we didn't have to order electronics off during taxi/takeoff/landing. (Airplane mode saves your battery btw)

I seriously applaud you for this. (My tone even offline can sound sarcastic, but I'm not).

There is a great blend of political diversity among crew members. To put together a majority group of crew members from different airlines who refuse to enforce masking is near to impossible.

Like any job, most people just want to work without having to get political. Let me make sure I get my passengers safely from Point A to Point B as comfortably as possible.

I'm in uniform. I'm not in a position to discuss or endorse political leanings. Every now and then, when I do mention politics, I cover my wings and say, "Out of uniform, not representing my airline, I believe..."

It's easy to take a stand at a keyboard in the safety of your own home. It's another to upset dozens of people in a pressurized metal tube flying 500+mph in the air.

You have a choice in how you travel.

You agree to follow the masking protocols several times before you enter the aircraft.

It wasn't a case of him just slowly eating. He was told multiple times to put his mask on from boarding. Was he walking and eating? I don't know.

You typically have 3 FAs and 2 pilots. So that is a combined effort of 5 Federally licensed professionals that are making the decision to remove you from a flight.

Masking aside, I don't want to deal with a passenger who is belligerently disregarding crew member instructions.

We have to think about how bad behavior on the ground may escalate to something worse in the air.

Diversions can cost airlines in the $100000s. I don't want to deal with mutiny in air.

  1. If he was, why was he ejected?
  2. Don't fly commercial. Try corporate flying.
  3. It's not corporate flying, so I have to consider the needs/wants of ALL the passengers not just one.

Ejecting willfully noncompliant passengers has been business as usual. The masking issue makes it new.

Yes, I'll make sure to mention that to my fellow Trump voter coworkers.

Ok. Follow FAA regulations when your flying then which includes following crew member instructions that go along with airline policy.

You are welcome to drive yourself to your destination or see if NetJets has options.

As I commented on Reddit: During my safety demonstration, I noticed a passenger pulling off his mask to eat a single chip at a time then putting his mask on to chew it. Bless him, I told him it was okay to just take off his mask to eat normally.

I am not going to be standing over all my passengers to make sure they are keeping their masks on 100% of the time.

Masking aside, you see enough examples of people trying to sneak around regulations to know the difference between genuine innocence ("I didn't know my seat wasn't upright") and lying (passenger pushes back seat once they see my back is turned).

Protecting Americans’ health also means fighting infectious diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.

When we are all allowed to go out to eat again, keep in mind that more than 2 million restaurant servers were in the workforce before.

With this pandemic, many are out of work. Many residents will close for good. The restaurant industry is such an important part of the economy.

The best thing that can be done is to go out to eat again when we are able and showing appreciation for those who serve you.
