In reply to the discussion: Video: American Airlines pilot says he'll divert plane and strand Trump supporters in Kansas if they [View all]pat_k
(14,002 posts)95. "American Airlines told the NY Post they stood by the pilot"
That's very good to hear.
One question: Why were the people who refused to wear masks allowed on the flight in the first place?
If I absolutely had to fly somewhere, I would never board the plane if any passengers refusing to wear a mask were allowed on board. (Or would disembark if any seated passenger wasn't wearing a mask.)
Any failure to enforce a mask mandate is outrageous. I've never seen anyone who attempts to enter a store without a mask allowed in here in Seattle. There is a hell of a lot more air circulating in a store than in a plane.
P.S. on edit:
If he'd been forced to follow through on the threat, I'd pity the poor people at the airport there left to deal with the militants.

Given the ignorance of the law, this information needs to be broadcast before every flight.
