Eh, they aren't keeping it forever and the airlines have pretty solid statistics behind them saying that, for better or worse, the mandate and enforcement of the mandate is causing a lot of the passenger behavior incidents. I'm perfectly fine with it and my wife and I have discussed the possibility that we'll potentially keep masking in the future, especially during cold and flu season, but I think all the stake holders know it has to go away at some point. As it is, both the US and Canada have only extended their regulations until March, which coincides with such and also with the usual decline in airborne virus cases.

Yeah, it is a real pity they did this. Indeed, it may well have been to target folks like you, unfortunately..
