@PetertheProphet I was not dishonest in my post. We had no issues with anything. I probably could have added "we did not contract Covid on any of our 4 flights".
Again, if the original poster had a problem with flying during these times, they need to find a different mode of transportation then. I personally feel it is safe to fly at this time. We both have our opinions and we both need to do what is right for ourselves. Are we to close the business permanently because of a virus? That is what will happen if we shut down until the virus is over (hint - it isn't going away, just like the flu, colds, etc.)
TO this comment that I "willfully left out the fact that Southwest Airlines requires all passengers to wear face masks". No I didn't leave it out. It is understood by all who fly that they require all passengers to wear face masks. They post it everywhere, so I didn't feel the need to say it again.
You have no grounds to criticize the lockdowns if you are on board with the unlawful mask mandate. And the second part of your comment (see bold) is untrue. There was a time when Southwest Airlines allowed exemptions; they no longer do so.
For added context, Southwest Airlines is following the order issued by the CDC that requires face masks to be worn by all travelers while on public transportation. People must wear masks that completely cover both the mouth and nose while awaiting, boarding, disembarking, or traveling on airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis, and ride-shares as they are traveling into, within, or out of the United States and U.S. territories. People must also wear masks while at transportation hubs (e.g., airports, bus or ferry terminals, train and subway stations, seaports) and other locations where people board public transportation in the United States and U.S. territories.
If you have a disability, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act, that prevents you from wearing a mask, but still wish to travel: Southwest is currently finalizing steps for a Customer to take to apply for a disability-related exemption from the mask requirement. The first date Southwest would allow a Customer with an exemption to travel is March 21.
Please know that we want everyone to be comfortable sharing their unique thoughts and opinions on the Southwest Community, even those who disagree with Southwest's policies. That said, engaging with others in such a way as to incite or perpetuate an argument or conflict is prohibited on the Community.
