No more medical exemptions: Alaska Airlines says anyone who can't or won't wear a mask won't be allowed to fly
Alaska Airlines is the latest airline to announce it will no longer allow medical exemptions from its mask-wearing requirement. The carrier said that if a passenger was unwilling or unable to wear one, they would not be permitted to fly. Despite evidence that wearing masks can significantly limit the spread of the coronavirus, masks have become a flashpoint for conflicts aboard flights (as well as elsewhere). Alaska Airlines said on Wednesday that it will no longer fly passengers who are… (www.yahoo.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Does it mean there´re not gonna be more served meals on aircraft?
I'm thinking it won't be long until someone files an ADA lawsuit against them.
I, for one, won't be able to fly.
When I wear a mask, it starts my skin itching. Not like just a little inconvenience,but serious irritation.
I can last a few minutes okay, an hour at a time with considerable discomfort, but after that, it starts looking like I'm having an allergic reaction, and the longer I wear the mask, the more of my body starts to itch and my skin gets a rash.
I already have skin problems (was asked if it's contagious by a manager at work once)...
My doctor is well aware of it, and wouldn't hesitate to give me a medical exclusion, if I ask for one. But I just use social distancing, and don't expose myself to places where there are a lot of people. When I go to the hardware store for a few minutes, I wear a mask. I think the effectiveness of masks is overrated, but I comply.
But now there is no way I can fly from SEA to PHL to visit my son now.
Not on Alaska anyway.

Then this is something you should look at if you cannot wear a mask for long periods of time.

The downside is that they are not cheap. Failing that, if someone cannot wear a mask for long time periods, then there are other forms of travel that one can take without the need for one.

The invisible boogie man has all of you scared! I presume you've watched a couple of "scary" Hollywood movies with their built-in "predictive programming" - movies like "ANDROMEDA STRAIN" and "CONTAGION." There's NO "virus" running around out there behind the trees waiting to attack you, nor is there a "virus" passing to someone else via a sneeze or a cough. GET REAL! CoVid-19 is a PLANNED Pyschological Warfare CONstruct with many vectors to a global financial reset. The Global Elites have been planning this for years. To get insight, take a look at the 2010 Rockefeller Foundation publication "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development." Here's a link to that document and if you will read the section beginning on page 18, "LOCK STEP" - you will understand what's going down: http://www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Rockefeller%20Foundation.pdf
In November 2019, the World Economic Forum in New York, along with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, John Hopkins University, the UN World Bank and the CIA initiated their planned exercise "EVENT 201." You can read about it all over the internet.
THERE IS NO VIRUS.

No virus? Tell that to the 728,786 people who have died from Covid-19. 161,350 of those people are Americans.
You should be the one to wake up.

NOBODY HAS DIED OF CORONAVIRUS. MANY HAVE BEEN MURDERED BY INTUBATION, THE MEDICAL RESULT OF WHICH IS BLOWN-OUT LUNGS. MANY OTHERS, ESPECIALLY IN NURSING HOMES HAVE BEEN MORPHINED OR DRUGGED TO DEATH - ALL UNDER THE PRETEXT OF COVID-19 THAT DOES NOT EXIST. THEY ARE PERPETRATING A MEDICAL FRAUD ON THE UNKNOWING, DUMBED DOWN POPULATION, LADEN WITH COGNITIVE DISSONANCE TO UNDERSTAND THAT A VIRUS DOES NOT EXIST OUTSIDE THE HUMAN BODY. ALL OF THE NUMBERS ARE A FUDGED AND BLAMED ON COVID. AS I STATED EARLIER, I PERSONALLY CONTACTED EVERY FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY IN MY COUNTY AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE HAS BEEN NO UPTICK IN DEATHS FROM JANUARY TO JULY OF THIS YEAR AS COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR. YOU ARE IN DENIAL OF THE FRAUD AND ARE WATCHING A TEL-A-LIE-VISION BOX WHERE THEY HAVE FREE REIGN TO LIE TO YOU 24/7 - EVER SINCE OBAMA REPEALED THE SMITH-MUNDT ACT. GO LOOK IT UP!
I don't really like "special accommodations", but would ask for them to be more reasonable. Sitting in an airplane with an empty seat between me and the next person doesn't seem like a high risk situation - especially since my wife would likely be in that seat. You can put me on the emergency exit aisle so no one is in front of me. But to offer no solution because you don't believe that medical conditions which make mask wearing not feasible for that long is short sighted.
And for those of you who think it's rare that people can't wear a mask... how rare are peanut allergies? Yet they pulled them from in flight snacks.
I don't think the right to fly is limited to only enumerated medical conditions. I'm pretty sure the courts would extend that to other conditions when a lawsuit is brought to them.

I would suggest perhaps that you look into something akin to an astronaut's helmet. If you wore that, it would both protect others while also allowing your "mask" to not touch your face. Win + Win.
So when are you going to file the suit?
The ADA will not support you if you do not have a medical condition that is defined by a physician.
If the cotton in a mask makes you break out, just what kind of under ware do you use?
