Spirit Airlines reiterates mask policy, CDC standards after passenger refuses to swap gaiter
Spirit Airlines reiterated its policy for wearing only masks approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after video posted Friday of a guest refusing to wear anything other than his own neck gaiter, which does not meet CDC standards. The video, recorded by the passenger in question and shared to social media last week, shows a flight attendant asking a man wearing an American flag-themed neck gaiter if he was wearing a mask underneath, given that the gaiter on its own does not… (www.yahoo.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
oh for gosh sakes people..just get and wear a face mask! thre are many different ones you can purchase that have apppropriate nose and mouth covering,fasten securely behind the ears with elastic or by ties.so just dont make a big deal of it..you are protecting not only yourself,but others by wearing one, and you should respect others as you want the same for you!the airlines have the right to request specifics,just as a restaurant can say you must have on a shirt or shoes to dine in their establishment..please be mature and dont act as if your rights are being "infringed upon"!
Oh Geez ! buckle up snowflakes I'm in the air every week, you have to wear a mask, stop complaining for the LOVE OF GOD !! I'm traveling with two pre-conditions, bunch a babies, how hard can it be the gate will give you one, and BTW the way no one has ever been on 20 Spirit Flights... EVER !
All this stuff changes every day and varies by state in some situations. The CDC goes back and forth, even in the last week. I'm staying home.
As in any private business, the business makes the rules. If you don't agree, don't fly.
Just like OSHA the CDC only provides guidance. There is NO MASK MANDATE. Spirit is a private business and can ask you wear a mask while they provide service. That is all they can do, they have no legal right to determine what the face covering is. Consumers can then decide if they want to use that business or not. So when Spirit goes bankrupt for treating paying customers like criminals, all you social warriors who think that magical mask force field will save you from the virus can spend your money keeping them in business. I would not accept a mask from the airlines either, it could be second hand as there are NO REGULATIONS OR PERFORMANCE STANDARDS on the masks everyone is shouting will save their lives!
The Air Carrier Access Act disagrees with everything you just said. I suggest you read it, as well as the FARs for what the airline can tell you to do.
