This flight attendant is so full of shit. Right off the bat you can see that he himself is wearing no more than a regular cloth mask with a logo of their company. Nothing medical about it. Then you have the passenger, who is wearing a gaiter for a mask, covering even more space, and no more and no less medical than anyone else, including the attendant.

But he's getting on his case. What's underneath it? Doesn't meet with CDC? They themselves stated any covering would be fine.

Unless they are requiring lame surgical masks or better, then he's harassing this guy. And considering his own mask, and the fact that I have yet to see a single airline or plane requiring such medical masks in order to fly.

Looks to me like nothing more than an anti-flag weenie who deserves a little comeuppance... even if in the terms of a firing.

Spirit Airlines Flight Attendant Threatens Passenger With Arrest Over Patriotic Face Covering: “It is not legal according to the CDC”

A Spirit Airlines flight attendant was caught on video harassing a male passenger for his patriotic face covering.
100 Percent Fed Up shares the incredible exchange that took place:

I’m wearing a mask.

No.

What do you have underneath this? This is not legal to wear.

I’m wearing a mask—Legal by who? Legal by who? What’s wrong with my mask?

It is not legal according to the CDC.

Really?

Really. That’s why I handed you a mask.

Show me those rules.

I don’t have to show you the rules.

Well, I don’t have to wear the mask that you gave me. I’m wearing the mask that I have. I’ve been on 20 flights, okay? I’ve literally been on 20 flights with this same exact mask. Alright? I’m done talking.

Well, so am I. And I’ll have the authorities waiting for you when we land.

Okay, sounds good.

Spirit Airlines was blasted in the comments under passenger “‘Michael’s” tweet.

After a Twitter user (John V) called them out, Spirit responded by saying “the CDC cautions that gators may not be effective.” The CDC doesn’t say they are not acceptable, nor does it say they shouldn’t be worn on a flight. They certainly don’t recommend arresting passengers who wear bandanas on their faces.

Spirit Airlines’ reply to “John V”: Safety is Spirit Airlines’ first priority. The CDC cautions that gaiters may not be effective, and we require Guests to double up gaiters so they’re dual-layered. We welcome Guests who wants to show their pride with an American flag on a face covering that meets with our policy.
