And they already weaseling out in the original article:

The industry group, Airlines for America, said health acknowledgments “encourage passengers to make an evaluation of their own health prior to travel,” and said those who refuse to complete the health acknowledgment “may be deemed unfit to travel.”

Delta and other airlines already have been requiring passengers and employees to wear masks and warned that customers who don’t comply could lose future flight privileges. Delta said last week it has banned some passengers who refused.


In other words, hope that the passenger wedged up next to you for hours didn't lie, wasn't asymptomatic, and that the crew will actually make them wear a mask and wear it properly.

Yeah I'm not getting on any flight soon either.
