U.S. airlines have banned 700-plus passengers for not wearing masks

[Zorro]

If you ignore the requirement to wear a mask on a commercial flight, you could join the more than 700 passengers who have been banned from flying on the nation’s largest airlines.

Delta Air Lines leads all carriers, having placed 270 passengers on its “no fly” list for flouting its mask policy. It’s followed by United Airlines, with 150; Spirit Airlines, 128; Frontier Airlines, 106; Alaska Airlines, 78; and Hawaiian Airlines, six.

Airline representatives said the carriers are not sharing the names of passengers with one another, making it likely that a passenger banned from one airline can continue to fly on others.

American Airlines and Southwest Airlines declined to disclose how many passengers they have banned for violating the face-covering rule.

3. Agreed

issue a trespass warning to them and kick their asses out the door.

2. It's kind of a toothless gesture

if they don't share those lists among themselves. Violators can just go from one airline to another. They should get serious about this and work together to stop passengers who have no concern about their own health or that of others.

4. Yes. Why they are not sharing is beyond me.

on edit: Hey, my 10,000 post! Yay!

6. My girlfriend's son is a pilot for U.S. air.

I sent her the link and added: ... and Mike was responsible for 699 of those. He is very militant about the mask rule.
