Aero-News Quote of the Day

"It makes no sense that people are still required to wear masks on airplanes, yet are allowed to congregate in crowded restaurants, schools and at sporting events without masks, despite none of these venues having the protective air filtration system that aircraft do. Now is the time for the Administration to sunset federal transportation travel restrictions - including the international predeparture testing requirement and the federal mask mandate - that are no longer aligned with the realities of the current epidemiological environment."

Source: From a letter drafted by Airline Execs from Delta, American, United, and 7 other carriers in response to the CDC extension of the inflight mask mandate.
