HA sent a notice to all employees that masks are still required until further notice.
I remember the days when the airlines allowed smoking in the rear of the plane. Now the airlines can divide the plane to allow the passengers who wish to wear masks to sit in the rear of the plane.
Even in the 1980’s you got a full meal on 3 hr flights, plus snacks and drinks!
Why should the people wearing masks sit in the rear???
those who wish not to wear masks get to the back of the plane.
There shouldn’t be separation of anyone regardless of their background or choices they make regarding their health. If someone is that concerned with their health to where they feel everyone else should do something to make them feel comfortable then they shouldn’t be traveling or going places. Entitlement mentality will only wear you down, live with an open heart. ‘Imi Ola.
wow speaking about entitled comments! So you feel that anyone who is concerned for their health simply should not fly? WTH
I’m not one for division, but…if we were going to try and separate the vaccinated and unvaccinated so people feel safer, how about separate planes? The tricky thing with that is though, is what fully vaccinated would mean…Would the recently boosted feel safe around those that only got 2 shots?? Guessing some of them wouldn’t. And would those with only 2 shots even though they are not boosted feel safe around the unvaccinated? Guessing some of them wouldn’t. So yeah that wouldn’t work either… Let’s not forget about how the unvaccinated might feel unsafe around the vaccinated due to transmission of spike protein from the vaccines…suddenly women’s menstrual cycles (both vaccinated and unvaccinated) are being negatively effected.
#LetThemBreathe!!! If people want to continue to wear them “By Choice” then by all means go ahead! I have pilot and stewardess friends and they are all for this Ending- it has been a nightmare enforcing it and it has impacted their health (pilot does not wear one in cockpit, and tells me it is super rare for a pilot to wear one in the cockpit)…the stewardess’ have the health problems; headaches, dizzy and lightheaded from wearing one from countless hours..ps one pilot and one stewardess fly Maui routes:)
LOL this cracks me up. I smoke and have zero issues ever wearing a mask. I wore mine twice back and forth to Hawaii several times last year. Never one issue. So if someone is dizzy they probably have other health issues causing that I also know many in the flying industry and all to a person want to keep the masks on so neener neener
Really simple. Those who want to mask, can. Those who don’t want to mask, don’t. So simple even a politician can understand.
Michael … I admire your positive outlook about politicians’ ability to understand something so simple. Yet, what are the chances… Really!!
The CDC recommends masks, that is the way it should have always been. If you want to wear a mask, go for it. Just don’t tell me to wear one.

My last flight to Hawaii was the end of January to Kauai. A man a few rows back had his mask off and on while eating. The FA was completely out of line screaming at this man to put his mask on in between bites as she screamed “do you want to kill us all”. Now in January we still needed vax proof or testing. So it’s not the passengers out of line.
We fly Southwest from SLC to OAK, then OAK to LIH on April 30th.
I predict: SLC airport will not have their own mandate. OAK will. And LIH will still have that guy out on the curb scolding people.
Probably Southwest will still have one, but it will be even more stressful for the FAs to enforce, since they can no longer blame the feds.
We’ll find out!
Finally a judge with a clue!! It is time for all of this stupidity to be done!! Let the people decide for themselves of they want to wear mask.
I agree, in my 40 years of Trauma/Acute Medical Care and ICU patient care we were required to wear a mask for Isolation, Reverse isolation, Neutropenic isolation, chemo patients etc, It’s NO BFD to wear a mask or not. Since now that I’ve developed a neurologic autoimmune condition, per neurologists and other specialists, I’ve been highly encouraged to continue to wear a mask, especially if in proximity to anyone else, as well as getting Vaxxed. I don’t judge others so people shouldn’t judge my choices either. Yes, I get queried when out walking my dog as to “WHY do you have mask on”!
you wear a mask Walking your dog? Really? You must be brainwashed and Paranoid… there is zero science in that.
Will F. Typical social distance while walking I see is 8 inches between persons, plus people jog by huffing and puffing blowing their air out farther than normal. You can take your judgementaizms and place them where the sun don’t shine.
I am amazed that an elected judge who is not an infectious expert in any way thinks he knows better than the scientists. By all means go without but dont whine when you end up with Covid. I have had many friends die from this virus and its very real
Stupidity? Really? So if 1 million died because of airline crashes would you still get on a plane? No what is stupid is those of you who believe in the big lie and that this was all a hoax to hurt your little feelings and the orange turds political chances.
This will be overturned. Was a Republican Judge with admiration of Trump and DeSantis.
Oddly, it does not matter which president appoints the federal judge, nor does it matter who the governor of the state in which the district is located likes the decision or not. The Biden Admin can appeal to the 11th circuit, and can ask the judge to stay her order until the appeal heard (I hope she doesn’t). The 11th circuit has to take the case. It is optional for the SCOTUS after that.
Meanwhile, the CDC recommends that you continue to wear masks on public transportation.
OR said another way….
The CDC will be ignoring the Courts….again!
It s the cdc’s job to make recommendations based on medical and health science. No reason they have to listen to the courts to make recommendation. The ruling was about jurisdiction for mandates.
Really? Most people wear cloth masks which have exactly zero effectiveness against air borne virus…. And of course covid magically disappears when eating or drinking. Mask mandates are an unconstitutional joke. If you want to Wear one, go ahead, just don’t make healthy people take on your folly.
CDC doesn’t pass laws.
right so you get your medical information from a judge?
May the freedom we enjoy be returned to the people like myself know how to be safe without the government mandates. John
yep but we all know that when say there is a huge flood and government says stay away from it people always still go to it and drown so yea
