you cannot fix stupid..wearing a mask is at present the biggest and only shield we have against this virus..its not big deal..medical personnel,painters,and those around ill family members wear them all the time, as do people with allergies..the people who refuse are being selfish and yes,stupid..the person should be made to pay monetarily for inconveniencing others...

we can only hope this is true..the hawaiian islands have long been a big vacation spot,and a money making destination for the major carriers..hawaiian air and aloha (which i think is no longer around)were the major inter island carriers and the service has always been very warm and welcoming in the island fashion...i wish them all well and maybe soon the tourism will come back as that is their major industry...

DEREGULATION WAS A FEW DECADES BACK..SINCE THAT TIME MANY CARRIERS HAVE GONE UNDER,MERGERS HAVE HAPPENED, AND A TRUE MESSSY TANGLE OF AIRFARES FROM A YCEX24 WHEN THE MOON IS FULL ONLY,TO A STRAIGHT Y FARE, AND YOU MIGHT JUST BE SITTING NEXT TO THAT PERSON..YEARS AGO THE "REGIONALS'WERE NON EXISTENT,THEN THEY CAME AROUND AND THE LARGER CARRIERS USED THEM AS AN "ARM" AND MARKETING TOOL FOR SMALLER AIPORTS SO THEY DIDNT HAVE TO USE THE BIG JETS..IT IS TRULY A SAD STATE OF AFFFAIRS THAT THIS VIRUS HAS CAUSE SO MUCH PAIN AND STRESS TO ALL OF US,AND THAT AIRLINES ARE REALLY FEELING THE RESULTS OF PEOPLES FEAR..I HAVE FLOWN ON EXPRESSJET AND IT WAS OK..NOT GREAT..BUT REGIONALS ARE NOT KNOWN FOR SERVICE..I WISH THE EMPLOYEES WELL..WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEX 6 TO 8 MONTHS..

it is good to hear that news,but i think most people were under the impression all of the airlines flying at present were using that technology..

wearing a mask is a "new" concept to americans,unless they are in the medical profession, or have a family member who has auto immmune issues and those around must be masked..its not that hard to resaerch various kinds of masks,what they are for,what they do or do not protect the wearer or those around the person from..i think delta more than likely has had medical professionals on their staff give them advice..if delta is wiling to hand out masks to those needing the proper one,then what is the issue of problem..i say,none...

sparkie.."normalization" is a long way off..until and unless the virus is eradicated and a vaccine is found to work on the millions who will need it,there wont be a "normal"as you mentioned...

there is optimisum and hope that eventually the travelling public will come back as strong as ever...ual is making a good decision..even if they must "mothball" aircraft for a while,i dont think they want to "downsize" to the point of "retiring" aircraft..they have however announced their plans to lay off thousands of employees and offer buyouts..that is a "gven" and at this point a necessity for the monetary bottom line...

airlines have long accommodated those with disabilites,from whceelchair access to paraplegics to those travelling from hospitals for treatment for cancer or burns or other such..needless to say, if a person requires oxygen onboard as these devices use a canula for the nose,a mask might be an issue..the masks that are available include not just cloth ones,but a paper like material that can be breathed through,or even ones with filters..i think people protesting are more afraid of not getting air as they have never worn a mask as required to visit people with certain diseases in a hospital,nor have they worked in the medical field..remember, "no shirt no shoes no service"??well, an airline is a business that deals with all kinds of people,and requiring a mask due to a pandemic is not out of line..!a lawsuit,all things considered,would be totally frivolous!
