"Flight attendants sue over mask mandate on airplanes, transportation" by Howell, Tom; The Washington Times; March 28th, 2022; Nine flight attendants from six states said Monday they are suing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over the federal mask mandate on public transportation, arguing the COVID-19 rule obstructs their normal breathing over many hours and threatens aviation security because passengers refuse to comply. They want a judge to vacate the rule, which was recently extended to April 18, and prevent the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services from issuing such a mandate again. The attendants filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado because one plaintiff, Victoria Vasenden of Southwest Airlines, is based at Denver International Airport. The lawsuit says being forced to police the rules among passengers in the skies is disrupting flights. They pointed to a recent letter from major airlines to the Biden administration that made a similar point. Also, a group of 10 pilots filed a similar lawsuit against the rule on March 10 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Airline workers say it doesn’t make sense to impose the rules on planes, where the air is constantly filtered The mask mandate on public transportation had been set to expire on March 18 but the Transportation Security Agency extended it a month on the advice of the CDC. https://bit.ly/3Dh7eYC #medicalFreedom #medicalTyranny #airlines #flights #travel
