A federal judge's decision to strike down a national mask mandate was met with cheers on some airplanes but also concern about whether it's really time to end one of the most visible vestiges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The major airlines and many of the busiest airports rushed to drop their requirements on Monday after the Transportation Security Administration announced it wouldn’t enforce a January 2021 security directive that applied to airplanes, airports, taxis and other mass transit.

But the ruling still gave those entities the option to keep their mask rules in place, resulting in directives that could vary from city to city.

United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Alaska Airlines all quickly announced they were yanking the mask requirement for domestic and some international flights. So did American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and JetBlue Airways.

Passengers on a Delta flight between New York and San Francisco, cheered, whistled and applauded when a flight attendant announced the news.

They’re too confused to celebrate.

Like, they’ve been told to be good little sheep, and now the masks arbitrarily aren’t needed…..

Remember how hard it is to get your rights back after they have been taken away.

Now Delta needs to stop serving alcohol and stop all the violence from the POS passengers. Has the highest amount of issues.
