All this fighting over a mask? There is actual scientific evidence on both sides of this but the real question to ask is why is it worth fighting over? Lately all over social media and even out in society there has been nothing but division and fighting, weather it’s mask verses non mask? Black verses white? Gay verses straight? Woke verses old values? The list of what divides us goes on and on and to what end? And we making a better society? Or destroying a great society? Maybe instead of fighting over what divides us we should start looking for things that can bring us together? What good is it to win a fight if it is just going to further destroy us.

I agree about how this site is becoming too political. I used to enjoy coming here and reading the discussions. I am not a pilot nor have I ever worked in the airline industry so this site was a place to read posts from people who were in that industry and knew what was going on. I respected their knowledge and gained a lot of insight from them but...and sadly there is a but...now it’s looking more and more like Facebook with everyone insulting each other and fighting over things and the worst part is now most of them don’t appear to actually work in the airline industry. It was a good site and I hope this is temporary and the shit disturbers will move on and leave it for the rest of us who just want to read about planes and learn from people who have first hand knowledge of the industry.

My great grandfather wore one when the Germans shelled the trenches with chlorine gas. Was that not combat?

I am also not a pilot but in the mining industry every tank is color coded as to what goes in and often labeled. Labels do wear and wash off but colour coded tanks and filler caps are hard to screw up.

That horse was already out of the barn. If these two were infected then everyone on the flight was already exposed.
