Senator Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation received testimony from chief executives of major airlines. Chief of Operations of Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and Southwest Airlines were summoned to testify before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. They spoke primarily about the $54 Billion bailout that the airline received in the wake of the pandemic.
But, CEOs have gotten a little too excited about the effectiveness of mask wearing during flight.
The following are the Dallas Morning News:
Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly told U.S. senators Wednesday that the air in airplane cabins is clean enough that face Masks don’t provide significant additional protection to passengers from COVID-19.
“I think the case is very strong that masks don’t add much, if anything, in the air cabin,” Kelly, who runs Dallas-based Southwest. “The environment is very safe, very high quality compared to any other indoor setting.”
Why continue to use mask theatre? This policy has only two proven facts: the rise in mask-related fights and the injuries sustained by flight crew members and passengers as a result. FAA reports show that 4,072 of the 5,664 reported incidents were related to masks.
Obviously there’s a problem here, and it has little to do with the virus.
Amazingly, Kelly was also a Southwest CEO at American Airlines. Then rushed to “clarify.”
“I concur,” Doug Parker, CEO of Fort Worth-based American Airlines. “The aircraft is the safest place you can be. That’s true of all of our aircraft.”
American later clarified that Parker’s remarks were intended to agree with “the comments made by other witnesses about the high quality of aircraft cabin air, and did It is not intend to cast doubt on the necessity of face masks on planes,” spokeswoman Stacy Day .
Awkward.
Dementia Joe wants a mandate for all interstate transport to have a permanent mask. He is not only obsessed with the choo-choos but also wants to control how public transport users use it.
Kelly’s face mask comments contradicted efforts by the Biden administration to require them on airplanesIn airports as well as on interstate transport such buses or trains.
The pandemic symbol for compliance, therefore, is dead if airlines violate the plan.
President Joe Biden made airplane Mask mandates among his first executive orders when he took office in January and has since renewed the Mask mandate through March 18, 2022.
Since airlines began to require this information, Masks on airplanes since the summer of 2020 and then subsequently partnered with the Department of Defense and research universities such as Harvard to show that HEPA Filtration Systeme on airplanes make it difficult for coronavirus to spread among passengers.
Scott Kirby, United Airlines’ CEO was glowing about HEPA filtration systems in planes. He even said that it could rival the quality of air in ICU units in hospitals. HEPA filtering in an aircraft circulates air between 20 and 30 times an hours, while hospital air circulation is only two to three times. According to the airline studies, the cabins have floor-to-ceiling airflows that reduce COVID-19 transmission risk.
The technology appears to have done the job of mitigating COVID spread and removing the necessity of masks. They are symbolic but will not be abandoned.
