JetBlue becomes first U.S. airline to require passengers wear face coverings
Passengers flying JetBlue must wear a face covering over their nose and mouth throughout their journey, the airline says, including during check-in, boarding, while in flight and deplaning. (www.forbes.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I wonder if they would object to the half face respirator with P100 filters that I have? It lets me see better while wearing my glasses.
Sadly, unless people wear them properly, they will do not good. Their breath will still leak out around their nose or out the sides and any contaigion that they may be carrying will still get airborne. I see this daily while I am out and about. I even got the answer that she doesn't form the wire over her nose as she "wants to breathe."

Masks on a short flight will work but not a long one where hydrating and food are important.
Last night on HULU a clip was shone with a cabin sneeze following the various droplet colors through the cabin over other PAX. No mention made for air quality control by flight crew. On any current flight the recirculating fans can be off and cabin altitude auto or manual at or above 5000 feet.
Air in, Air out, no recirculation.
Recirculation fans off is not an abnormal in most manuals I believe.
It is possible some flights have experienced galley smell or smoke. Recirc fans off is mentioned for mitigation.

JetBlue has always been a leader in the industry great move.
Even if the media relishes spreading widespread panic about COVID-19, I agree with the airlines requiring mask. There are many citizen's that ignore the basic needs to stop this virus from spreading for the sake of maintaining their freedom rights. During this time, we all have to sacrifice this freedom temporarily and jump start the economy at the same time. WE ALL need to wear mask in public and while flying and maintain social distancing.This pandemic can be defeated.
"Small children are exempt." ~ Ahh, children, the very people who can easily spread the virus, because they're virtually immune to its EFFECTS, but not immune to having it, but since they're virtually immune to its effects, they can have it and spread it without knowing it. Great job, jetBlue.
So I guess jetBlue has banned eating and drinking on all their flights? 'cuz you can't eat or drink with a mask over your face. And if you CAN remove the mask to eat or drink...you defeat the purpose of the mask. Furthermore, IF the masks are holding in YOUR virus, then using your hands to remove the mask to take a bite or a sip just transferred your virus from the mask to your hands...and then to everything else you touch.
So...4 or 5 FAs are going to ensure that 150 passengers spread over 25-30 rows comply with the diktat? They can't even get the passengers to pay attention to the safety talk, and that's what, 2 minutes long? They can't even get all passengers to return tray tables and seats to their upright positions, or get all passengers to put their personal items under the seat in front, or get all passengers to turn off or put in airplane mode their electronics...but they're going to be able to enforce 150 people wearing their masks (minus small children, because they're exempt, and thus allowed to spew whatever they've got inside them into the cabin environment)?
Oh, and let's not forget that Fauci, the CDC, and the Surgeon General all insisted in March that masks were not necessary for the general public. Mind you, the CDC has been around for 75 years, or 900 months. But in April, in their 901st month, the nation's premier disease control agency suddenly figured out that masks DO help prevent the spread of a respiratory ailment?? C'mon, man - their either incompetent or dishonest. Although I guess rather than "or" I should embrace the "and."
I'm not sure how much of jetBlue's new policy is idiotic and how much is pandering, but whatever they are, they add up to 100%.

What about releasing the Emergency Oxygen Mask for everyone in the the cabin, right before taxi? #joke
