No mask while boarding
On my flight from SFO to JFK a few days ago. AS let this person board the flight without a mask. He wore a cup!!!
It was on the ground so the air air circulation was not good. I am just wondering why the GA and FA let him board the plane. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ed7b712181.jpg |

I was just on a flight yesterday and noticed the hanging mask holder as you enter the plane.... I think it's where the fire extinguishers used to be kept until a more important purpose for the space arose :) I am surprised they let someone board that way.... Overall, AS employees have been very diligent with enforcement of masks (not that there haven't been exceptions).

I’m surprised at some of the responses here. The passenger boarded without a mask that follows AS policy and federal law. Mistakes do happen, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to lambast a fellow passenger for expecting that the policy and law is followed.

Because--maybe?--under the federal mask mandate, exceptions have to be allowed, so maybe this guy had one. It could be he had a bottle of water in his bag and the cup was to drink from since he wasn't likely to get one. He may not have been confronted because every airline is required under the mandate to offer exceptions. While they are few, it definitely would stink to have an exception and then be shown on FT. We never know the whole story. Did you just ask the FA or GA politely?

At this point it's all just theater anyway. And my guess is the FAs realize that, and it's just not worth the trouble.

Happy to see this, mask mandate stays thru 9.13

I thought there was exceptions when eating or drinking or is that only after doors closed

If I saw this and I had taken the picture I would have sent it with the flight # and day to AS CS and asked why this passenger was allowed to board against FAA and Alaska policy rules. Let them follow up with the crew.
