What else can they do? If you've got a viable solution I'm all ears because this has become the bane of my existence - and I feel like I'm doing my job very well.
Short of diverting and offloading, you don't have a lot of options.

There's been discussion elsewhere of adding an airlock and a plank to walk, but that would take refitting of aircraft.

FWIW, I've been flying AS throughout the pandemic and have been happy with the way crews have handled things. Fortunately I haven't been on a plane with a group of belligerent non-mask wearers.
