I'm pro-mask. But I sure as heck am not pro-airline arrogance. And that's what this is.
It is neither arrogant nor discriminatory. Rather:
1. It is safer for other passengers and crew.
2. It may be safer for the individual passenger (but that really is up to the individual)
3. It is good for business as every survey out there points to the fact that the public, while wishing it were not necessary, favors masks. Accordingly, people will select an air carrier which does more to protect them.
On the flip side, it simply creates a category of people who are not medically capable of both flying and abiding by the rules. A pity for them, but safer for more.
