Delta has banned 460 anti-maskers

[Into the Night]

With the original Sars they documented that the bug on an Airplane should be expected to transmit up to 4 rows ahead and three behind, and the longer the flight the better it does.

Wear a fucking mask.

Masks do not stop a virus.

[Into the Night]

No, dude, I'm listening to scientists, while you're listening to snake-oil salesmen.

...deleted statistics warehouse reference...deleted propaganda sites...

Inversion fallacy. You listed no scientists. Science isn't scientists. Science is not involved here.

Masks do not stop a virus. 10 feet does not stop a virus. Shutting down 'nonessential' businesses does not stop a virus and is illegal.

Deplorables have no consideration for people who have to work in high risk jobs, aka flight attendants, retail employees, et al.

Deplorables in fact are cheering on Trump's superspreader MAGA rally tour

Insulting half the country isn't going to get you anywhere, dumbass.

[Into the Night]

Tell us oh great one when flight attendants, Walmart employees, fast food workers become high risk jobs????? I thought the military, police, fire fighters, first responders were high risk jobs. Oh how about airline pilots don't they breath the same air as flight attendants?

Most of the time the pilots breath the same air as the flight attendants. If cabin pressurization is lost, however, the pilots have an independent oxygen system from the flight attendants and passengers. The passenger and flight attendant system will only last about 5 minutes. The pilot system lasts much longer. The pilots will be busy getting the plane to a lower altitude. Otherwise, good point.

Since we are talking about COVID the context should be crystal clear without me having to elaborate and belabour the point - high risk of transmission for people who have to work in close contact with hundreds of different people every day

Covid19 is not very infectious. Only 3.7% of the overall population has ever gotten it (if you believe the CDC numbers). It is also an airborne virus. 10 feet does not stop it. Closing dining rooms does not stop it. Masks do not stop it. Retail and restaurant workers are not exposed to the virus any more than any customer in the establishment is. Not a high risk job. Semantics fallacy.

If you ever go through the cockpit door on a modern airliner, you will notice a wind going out of the cabin. That is because the cabin is given more air, more oxygen, and cleaner air than the body of the plane. It is required to do such, because the pilots must be kept alert. Meanwhile, if the passengers take a nap, it is fine for all. This unfortunately means that the flight attendants are working in lower quality air.

Nope. No special pressurization for the cockpit. Pilots and anyone else can be perfectly alert at 8000ft (the equivalent cabin pressure set by the pilots on most flights). It may interest you to know, though you don't like to hear it, that pilots also nap sometimes. Yes...during cruise flight.

There is no filter for cabin air. None needed. Delta doesn't fly everywhere.

Masks do not stop a virus.

So you are saying Delta is lying. If I'm not mistaken that is false advertising which is illegal. Thus I can only assume you are talking out your ass.

Attachment 17736

The flight crew must use supplemental oxygen (Oxygen masks) for the entire duration of flight operations above a cabin pressure altitude of 14,000 feet MSL (14 CFR § 91.211).

And they do. Most flights set the cabin pressure altitude to 8000 ft. Some set it to 5000 ft for short haul flights.

Wearing a mask in public should be mandatory,or be shot on sight!
Only then can we have Freedom.

Masks do not stop a virus. If you want to start shooting people, expect them to shoot back.

Mockery. Denial of logic.

You are so ignorant on the subject it's unbelieveable. The FAA requires all pilots wear supplimental oxygen masks the whole time cabin pressure is 14,000 msl or greater.

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. It is false advertising. Now that you mention it, it would be illegal in some States. Georgia, where Delta is based, probably doesn't have any such law, considering how tolerant they are of palm readers, fortune tellers, and other scam artists. The FAA has no regulations concerning false advertising. That sort of thing is usually best left to civil suits.

I am an aircraft mechanic, designer, and builder. I also fly (gotta break 'em sometimes! ).

You best should learn that many businesses lie, even large ones....and they get away with it.

Less, actually. And they do. Most flights set the cabin pressure altitude to 8000 ft. Some set it to 5000 ft for short haul flights.

Dude, I included a link from the CDC's website and you call it propaganda? From whom do you get your scientific "data"?
