[PostMillennial] What these CEOs are not saying is that their aircrews are tired of idiots fighting about masks on their planes. They see the best way forward is to pull the gummint authoritah rug from beneath the Karens' feet.
The CEOs of two of America's largest airlines have come out and contested the notion that wearing masks is an effective way to halt the spread of COVID-19 on planes.
On Wednesday, the CEOs of two of America's largest airlines questioned the need for masks on planes. American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and Southwest's Gary Kelly made the comments after the topic of masks was brought up during a senate hearing regarding financial support given to airlines by the government during the pandemic.
As CNN reports, both CEOs noted that the HEPA filters used on most airplanes capture nearly all the "airborne contamination" and, along with the almost constant exchange of cabin air with fresh air, help provide an environment that is as clean, if not cleaner, than any other indoor space. |
