Unless, of course, the Justice Department succeeds in challenging the ruling leading to the change, as they <a href=\"https:\/\/hotair.com\/allahpundit\/2022\/04\/20\/here-we-go-cdc-asks-doj-to-appeal-court-ruling-lifting-mask-mandate-n463769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently agreed to do<\/a>. But there\u2019s one aspect of the masking problems on planes that won\u2019t be going away for the foreseeable future, at least at Delta Airlines. During the pandemic, Delta established its own \u201cface mask noncompliance no-fly list,\u201d separate from the TSA\u2019s no-fly list for those suspected of having ties to terrorism. And they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/delta-will-maintain-mask-non-compliance-no-flight-list-even-after-the-travel-mandate-lifts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced yesterday<\/a> that the list will remain in effect even now that masks are no longer required. People may be able to get their names removed from the list, but only on a case-by-case basis and only after the prospective passengers have \u201cproved themselves\u201d and shown that they have reformed their ways to Delta\u2019s satisfaction. (Fox Business)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Delta Air Lines will maintain its ban on certain individuals who refused to comply with a COVID-19 mask mandate on Delta flights, even after the company dropped its face covering requirement following a Florida judge\u2019s ruling tossing out the Biden administration\u2019s mask mandate for public transportation Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals on the mask non-compliance no-fly list will have to prove themselves to the company before it will restore their \u201cflight privileges,\u201d a company spokesperson told FOX Business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith masks now optional, Delta will restore flight privileges for customers on the mask non-compliance no-fly list only after each case is reviewed and each customer demonstrates an understanding of their expected behavior when flying with us,\u201d spokesperson Anthony Black said in a statement to FOX Business.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This announcement raises two immediate questions for me. One has to do with the applicability of these rules under the current circumstances while the other speaks to Delta\u2019s ability to even implement such restrictions in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with their decision not to simply scrap the list immediately. The list in question only identifies people who refused to comply with the mask mandate during a flight. If that was your only \u201cnaughty\u201d behavior and face masks are no longer required, what basis is there for assuming that you\u2019re going to be causing any sort of additional problems? If you became violent during a flight and attacked people or attempted to damage the aircraft, I suppose I could understand a decision to extend the suspension. But Delta already has a separate, permanent no-fly list for \u201ccustomers who demonstrated egregious behavior.\u201d The people we\u2019re talking about here are the ones who were banned solely for removing their masks. There are approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/atlanta-airport-blog\/delta-to-review-flight-privileges-for-mask-violators-on-no-fly-list\/3TPY64AC5BDSLFRQEZWNLPHN5U\/#:~:text=About%202%2C000%20people%20are%20on,fly%20list%20for%20mask%20violations.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2,000 former passengers<\/a> on that list. <\/p>\n<p>Then there is the question of how Delta got into the no-fly list business to begin with. How does a private company get to create lists of who can or can\u2019t partake in its services? This is particularly pertinent when talking about an essential service like travel. A bar can probably get away with permanently banning a patron who starts too many drunken brawls, but even then, the target might have a viable lawsuit against them. Can you imagine banning someone for life from a grocery store after one incident of noncompliance? It\u2019s supposed to be the job of law enforcement and the government to hand down such decisions.<\/p>\n<p>The government can get away with maintaining no-fly lists, but that\u2019s controlled and enforced by the TSA, usually based on terrorism concerns. But we\u2019re going to let an airline permanently ban someone from travel based on as little as one incident of bad behavior? This sounds like a situation that could use some oversight, most likely from the Department of Transportation. Then again, I\u2019m not sure if we should be sending Pete Buttigieg into battle over this issue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mask mandates on the major airlines have now gone away.
