Re: inappropriate flight deck comments on Govt. Regulations, Flight 2873, 8/11/21 LAS to SFO leg The flight deck prior to the flight discussed masking requirements with gratuitous comments that many groups were opposed and they were hoping for changes to the required provisions. This was unnecessary in tone and spirit; fortunately, no passenger followed up on this. Politicizing public health issues does have unfortunate consequences. Per the Wall St. Journal, your company the next day (8/12) advised potential 3Q losses due to Delta variant issues, and the CDC head the same day commented that politicizing COVID has created real headwinds in combatting this. One would hope your pilots would wish economic/public psychology conditions that keep their livelihoods intact, but I guess there are outliers. In any event, I feel this was inappropriate, and would hope you can systemwide remind all flight crews that courtesy and apolitical masking advice is the more desirable result.
