Alaska will hand out 'yellow card' for passengers not wearing face masks
Alaska Airlines will hand out 'yellow card' or formal warnings for passengers that are not wearing face coverings. (www.washingtonpost.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The yellow card does little to protect other passengers. Kick them off the plane.
I think that you are missing the point. The yellow card is to "shame people" so that other people can feel better about themselves - just like in many schools where the "bad" pupil is told to stand in a corner in the classroom so that the other (rule abiding) pupils can feel good about themselves. "Who wants to be the guy in the corner; I wouldn't want to be him and I feel better that I am not him - I feel better - Yay". It's about the perception of action being an improvement to the situation. Its not about the action actually improving things - as you point out. Masks don't ACTUALLY improve the Covid19 transmission situation much (they only work for coughing or spitting) but they have a great calming, "feel good" effect on PAX (called the placebo effect in western medicine) so why not provide them. Its worked on Japanese and Chinese airlines for years where because they used them for city particulate pollution PM2.5 they then decided that that they felt better wearing them in a confined space too. The airlines (and there fellow passengers were tolerant) except after 911 when they were shamed because everybody knew that "only terrorists or robbers wear masks" to hide their face. Sigh. Humans.
Not sure that would be practical, Frank - seems the issue usually becomes apparent after the plane is in the air.
I don’t see the problem there... ;P
A more appropriate response would be that anybody not properly wearing their mask will be zip-tied and have a mask strapped to their face for them by the cabin crew. And then permanently banned from flying. On any airline. Ever.
What kind of CRM is that?
