Federal vaccine mandate for air travel suspended effective June 20

Nice to see the Federal government albeit slowly lifting restrictions so Canadians can enjoy ....well being Canadian
Funny how they simply do not want to let go and have only suspended this like the random testing, holding these divisive mandates over us and ready to put them in place when they panic again.
The good news is there will be more Canadian allowed to travel and exercise their constitutional right to mobility, visit family and friends and explore our great nation or the world
More companies can hire Canadians, increase employment, allow Canadian to earn a living and be productive members of our society
Yes I did use a specific tone with my message, but all of it is true
Now we wait for the masks to come off - Yes I know some are already freaking out that un vax Canadian will now be traveling with us
(ps many are already)

Though it will be nice not o be admonished by some FAs for not having finished my beer at the same time as by dinner, and ruely told to hurry up so I can put my mask back on. They'll have to go back to being rude about other things instead.

I wouldn't count on that happening any time remotely soon, though.

I chew gum on the plane so it looks like I'm eating and the AC crews seem to leave me alone.

Since this isn't an AC issue, I'm moving it to the Canada forum.

Happened a few times to me, once just last week. On one LHR-YYZ flight in December 2021 they even made an announcement that pasengers must (yes, "must!" their words, not mine!) eat fast to minimize time without masks on.

Even when they say to eat in 30 minutes, ya I usually take an hour and a half.
The gum thing is smart. I usually have an empty cup of coffee, with a lid that I keep bringing to my mouth.
One time last year a FA noticed that I was enjoying my complimentary SE snack for a very long time. I said to him, yes and as a medical professional you would know why I have to......he left me alone

That's funny and so sad in many ways

Pretending to be eating or drinking to avoid wearing a mask seems like more effort than just wearing the damned mask.
