Yes, the cabin is sealed. However, the air is constantly drawn upward to the ceiling of the cabin, where it goes through a serious filtration process before being recirculated in the cabin. The IATA does not think it is a danger at all. So masks on planes seem to be more performative theatre than actual precaution. From what I have read, Which science paper was this, care to share the source? It seems that the aviation industry are also not aware of this study, maybe it's a secret, or made up. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If just one passenger, who decides not to wear a mask is Covid +ve, there's a chance that the cabin crew could contract the virus and, at the very least have to go into isolation for a week. Wearing a muzzle does not prevent you from catching, nor passing on the virus. FACT. Look at dear Dr. Fauci. Tripple masked, 257 boosters and now tested positive for the second time in a month.

The post headlines (in all caps) says "SHOULD", the first paragraph says "must", then later on "recommended". "...the first paragraph says "must"..." That is not correct. The first paragraph does not state that "masks must be worn", it states that "some reports said [wrongly] that masks must be worn". To quote you, "words have specific meanings", so does the way they are used. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how long do you suppose it would be before all the cabin crew was infected and the airline grinds to a halt if no passengers wore masks? I know, it's a worse case scenario, but could happen. The airline have a duty of care to protect their staff, their passengers and their business, so they have every right to insist on mask wearing on their flights. At last someone who's grasped it and saved me the bother - thanks. Despite the filters and cabin airflow, the risk is still real if minimal.

Popular Post apetryxx Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2022 Bert Got Kinky says I’m an anti-mask nut job. Well Bert, as an airline pilot with plenty of doctor friends, we all know those cotton masks are as useless as teats on a boar hog. With the filters on our aircraft, your chances of catching something are about as close to zero as one can get. Do your homework. 7 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snig27 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 3 hours ago, josephbloggs said: Strange, I went back last month with Oman. On the way there everyone was masked. On the way back no one was masked, not even the crew, and hardly saw anyone in Muscat wearing one - not even airport staff. When we landed in Bangkok they made an announcement that everyone needed to put a mask on to exit the plane. Flew to Singapore a week ago and it is was fully masked on the way out and the way back. I've done a dozen international flights in and out of LOS this past two months, one as recently as last week, and no airline was enforcing the rule. Emirates (5 times), Singapore, Air France, Qatar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
