Delta CEO wants U.S. to put unruly passengers on 'no-fly' list

Here's my take on it:

1. People getting rowdy on planes recently is probably due to masking requirements

2. Airplanes have very efficient ventilation

3. Omicron is harmless to most people

4. Most people are vaccinated and protected against serious disease (Delta being the threat here, which has almost disappeared completely)

Simply remove the mask mandates and the problem will go away by itself (or at least return to normal).

People getting rowdy on planes is probably due to the onerous pre-flight experience. I haven't heard about people getting rowdy on trains, but they have the same masking requirements.

I mean, pre-covid sure. But there's been a number of cases of customers getting kicked for refusing to comply with the mandate. I would be surprised to hear most of the recent cases of people getting kicked off were not because of masks.

Yeah that's a good point.
