Far too easy for someone who doesn’t want to wear a mask to find a loophole... not worth the extra enforcement, IMO. We just have to accept that there will always be some level of risk, because you’ll never have 100% of passengers in masks 100% of the time.
I agree. And what you will see next is pictures and videos of FAs and pilots with masks below their mouths on their chins or necks. On every single flight I have taken in the last few months (about 10 total) on AA and UA, the FAs had their masks lowered for long periods of time. I have never seen a pilot with a mask covering their mouth and nose when coming out for a potty break. Are FAs and pilots going to be put on a no-fly list? This really is a useless effort. Just slowly nurse your water and eat slowly.
