Ocean Boy Posted May 9, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2021 And I suppose everyone still had to wear masks during the flight? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted May 9, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I posted a comment 5 minutes ago about DeSantis' law banning businesses from requiring proof of vaccination and how did United Airlines get around that. That post seems to have disappeared???? It was a genuine concern I have. Looks like everyone wore masks. Baby steps I guess. a 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched the news clip and people were wearing masks on the plane. Also curious how the Florida Governor will react to this, since this was set up by CLEAR and it is called a "health passport". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSantis doesn't have any more control over the airlines than he has over the cruise lines. They may be yanking his chain because he "apparently" made a claim the other day that he could prevent the airlines flying out of Florida from requiring vaccines. Heh. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted May 9, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2021 So no different than when we flew to Florida and back in March. I would have been more impressed if they did it without requiring masks. Especially if everyone was vaccinated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovescats5 Posted May 9, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 9, 2021 So, again, what is the purpose of a vaccine. You apparently have a plane full of vaccinated people and yet the mask. Why get a vaccine if we still have to wear a mask????? 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Biden signed the order mandating them on planes and other public transport did he not? Then you might be wearing them till Jan 2025 if he does not repeal it?. And if passenger demand does not drop in them 3.5 years then you will likely wear them forever. Edited May 9, 2021 by ace2542 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reinforces the fact that airlines are not controlled by state governors -- and soon the realization that cruise lines aren't either. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Yet they still had to follow the CDC mask rules in the airport and on the plane. It's sad still seeing stories about people seeing each other after over a year of quarantine. Those people will be emotionally scarred for life. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mandate doesn't disappear because it's a fully vaccinated flight. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the emotional scars of the families of nearly 600,000 people that died from this disease, or the more than 3 million people currently dealing with long-term health effects from being infected. Folks sacrificed a lot over the last year, but I doubt you'll find the vast majority of them feeling sorry for themselves. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing there are no other diseases or health conditions out there that could possibly affect people. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted May 10, 2021 #24 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I don't get the big deal about a vaccinated flight. Covid spread on airplanes has been pretty much zero due to how often air is circulated and filtered. It's all feel-good stuff 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't include large groups of people on an airplane. Or a cruise ship for that matter. Doesn't look to me like any cruise line is relaxing their masking protocols for vaccinated cruises outside the US. Is that the CDC's fault too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
