Thank God the power trip of the mask mandated is over.

[centurione]

I haven't been able to see my family for over 2 years because prolonged masking causes me violent asthma.
FJB and his mandates.

You do take a position. Some flight attendants didnt care if you had it under your nose and left you alone. Others obviously got off on the b.s. arbitrary nonsense, they LOVED controlling others. What will they do now they can't be the air NKVD?

[IAmWithinEverything]

Definitely will show the nutcases from the normal people.

She doesn't want to give up her power.

[jasielm]

A 3 minute answer that could of been said in 10 seconds. Why doesn’t she wear a mask while being interviewed on TV?

[Infinite]

Wow, cool at the end he actually pressed her on her b.s.

[bbmer]

She is a Liar. 90% of flight attendants in the AFA can not stand this person

[randys]

Even most mask advocates do not want the discomfort level of a snuggly fit N95 mask. They rather wear the cheap cloth, surgical like masks from the local grocery store and want it mandated for everyone around them so they "feel safer" and everyone "shares" in the discomfort instead of just them.

Live and let live, those trying to tell others what to do are gross

[tommy-jyig]

Here we go again! I hope our nurses and grave diggers got rested up.

[jessman]

Is she willing to take her mask off for "common courtesy" to those of us who hate masks? This isn't over. We have to continue to fight for the right to be mask free. Continue to complain about masks to flight attendants when they ask you to wear a mask. We must keep fighting.

[sunnydayz]

It's common courtesy to let adults make their own choices, and to follow the laws of liberty, which protect individual freedoms. Therefore these 'mandates' never stand in America. 'Mandate' and USA don't go together. They never did; never will.

[aglady]

It was a dumb decision in my opinion...but Yes it was OK to announce it but to sing it.😡🤥.
In my opinion I think that was terrible for this person to do that especially with PPL who have compromised immune systems .
I think the airlines need to call this person in..it was not funny at all . I hope her parents are not one of these PPL. 🙄🙄

[brandynmayo]

Starbucks Workers United pin! Love the solidarity from the flight attendants

[adrianf]

In other words, our people have spoken

[chiquita]

No one will ever forget how airlines treated their customers over the last 2 years. You picked a side now stay there. This is a victory for America, not you all. Thank you real Americans for your service, we appreciate you all

[darrenhere]

"access to the vaccine yet ..." priceless

[kylesmith]

I'm not sure where all the negative comments on this lady are coming from. She is well-spoken, reasonable, and in a difficult spot.
The idiotic politicization of masks made their jobs incredibly difficult. It's amazing that an "advanced" species can make such things into a political statement.

[AudiTTQuattro]

Explaining common courtesy to a Republican...explaining quantum physics would be easier.
