    It's not my fault you don't know how to read a study.

    Southwest and most others use HEPA filters. They are tighter than a mask and cycle cabin air every five minutes, plus import 25% outside air.

    If the person next to you is infected, maybe.

    You sound like the prejudiced racists that ignored Rosa Parks.

    I think it's brilliant. I'm not sure where, in United Airlines' mask policy, it says that what he's wearing doesn't qualify as a mask.
    In fact, he could also add a sanitary napkin as extra protection.

    Thats correct, it doesn't work. Your breathe will still leave the mask, with the virus on it, and circulate in the room you are in.

    Masks dont work. They are for droplets.

    Sorry that science disagrees with you. Wow I never understood how foreigners could call American's ignorant idiots, but here you are with your comments proving them right.

    Science doesn't disagree with me, even the scientists who claim otherwise are on record acknowledging masks dont work before it became something that would cost them their jobs to acknowledge it.

    IMO the wearing of masks in the cabin is a large factor in the many fights and altercations that happen on today's flights.

    It's good to see the CEO of American and Southwest to address the point, even if they are 'short timers' in their job.

    FYI: Doctors have known that masks and hand hygiene measures cannot reduce the spread of viruses.

    “Abstract

    There were 3 influenza pandemics in the 20th century, and there has been 1 so far in the 21st century. Local, national, and international health authorities regularly update their plans for mitigating the next influenza pandemic in light of the latest available evidence on the effectiveness of various control measures in reducing transmission. Here, we review the evidence base on the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical personal protective measures and environmental hygiene measures in nonhealthcare settings and discuss their potential inclusion in pandemic plans. Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza. We similarly found limited evidence on the effectiveness of improved hygiene and environmental cleaning. We identified several major knowledge gaps requiring further research, most fundamentally an improved characterization of the modes of person-to-person transmission.”

Shiu1, Huizhi Gao, Jessica Y. Wong, Min W. Fong, Sukhyun Ryu, and Benjamin J. Cowling, Author affiliations: University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. (emphasis mine)

    This probably explains why Fauci and others in the know are caught so often violating mask requirements.

    It's sad. The folks that were once there for your comfort and convenience are now enlisted little brownshirts. Flying, even in the front of the bus sucks anymore. There is no comfort or convenience, just the mask nazis screeching at you to pull up your mask these days.

    I guess you guys haven’t seen how liberals and feminists dress these days. Remember the women with the taco hats? How about the people who wore chains to protest slavery? And if you really, really want to see the disturbing crap people wear, Google gay pride parade and have a ball.

    ~ It may also explain why Fauci, CDC, WHO continue to lie & mislead the public - it's not about science, it's about psychology.
    The great social engineering experiment continues ... :no:'

    The problem is the nine folks you can reach out and touch while still seatbelted. If I can smell their perfume and cologne, I assume I'm also inhaling any virus that they are exhaling before it goes through these super scrubbers. The super scrubbers are nice though as they prevent the virus load from building throughout the trip as happens in normal indoor HVAC

    I have posted MANY, but it would seem I have yet to find one scientist, geneticist or medical specialist that the vaxxers will align with! I think the problem is none of them preach DOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM, DEATH and the vaccine is a gift from the great God Fauci.. Hell I can remember the good ol days when doctors promoting horse dewormer were considered heretic's now look, Pfizer has come out with a human "Variant" pun intended of the, HOLD FOR IT..

    HORSE DEWORMER LMFAO..

    Hurry and be the first to get jab #4 same as the first :)
