An argument over face masks turned physical on an Allegiant Airlines flight from Mesa, Ariz., to Provo, Utah, on Saturday.
A passenger on the flight was wearing a face shield and a flight attendant asked him to wear a face mask as well, KSL TV reported. Allegiants policy is that face shields must be worn in addition to a face covering, not as an alternative.
When the flight attendant and passenger were arguing about the policy, another passenger heckled the man, KSL reported. As the flight attendant was attempting to escort the passenger who refused to wear a face mask off the plane, a fight broke out with the heckling passenger.
Another passenger, Rylie Lansford, recorded the fight and said one of them threw a punch.
Lansford told KSL that she saw one of the passengers swing at the other and the passenger who refused to wear a mask was choking the other. The fight was broken up after 30 seconds, KSL reported.
KSL also reported the passenger who refused to wear a mask was escorted off the plane in Mesa, Ariz., and the other passenger was able to stay for the flight.
Major U.S. airlines have required face masks on planes for months. In September, a woman and her 2-year-old son were removed from a Southwest Airlines flight because the son didnt have on a mask.

If someone gets shot over not wearing a mask, is it a Covid death?
The masks are BS, but if the airline requires it, you have to wear one.
This. If you don’t like it, fly another airline. But, of course, if you don’t stand up for your rights to be maskless, they’ll soon require you to wear a tutu or... something.
Why did the airline even allow him ON the plane? He should have been stopped at the gate!
lol
My neighbor was doing work on his porch without a mask.
So I assaulted him with a shovel and buried him in my back yard.
(this is a joke. My neighbor doesn’t even have a porch)
A 2 year old MADE to wear a MASK??? How STUPID can you get??
There are times when, even if you’re in the right, you should just be quiet. The passenger who didn’t want a mask IN ADDITION TO the face shield he was wearing, was already in a bad mood. Then the other passenger puts his two cents in at just the wrong moment. Some folks don’t like being laughed at, especially not about another unclear Mask Law.
I remember the video a couple of weeks ago with the flight attendant argueing with a passenger that he needed to wear a mask not just a face covering. He claimed it was a CDC regulation. I doubted it and looked it up. The flight attendant was correct. But you are also correct. If an airline or any business requires it, you have to wear it.
A little off topic: When searching for the place I found the mask info before (I failed to find it) but found this in the CDC Website about flights - for anybody fearful of flying during these Covid times...
“Most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on flights because of how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes. However, social distancing is difficult on crowded flights, and sitting within 6 feet of others, sometimes for hours, may increase your risk of getting COVID-19.”
Yes
It’s a privately owned conveyance. If they want you to wear a polkadot t-shirt, neon green trousers and clown shoes in order to use it, then you either do that or don’t use their services. You can’t say “You can’t make someone bake a pro-gay cake” then protest about someone’s non-discriminatory conditions of service and remain intellectually honest.
The “Chad” or should I call him “Rick” grabbing the other guy for not wearing his mask has his own designer mask down.
Which pis more proof this is about control.
These control freak are so freaking stupid.
The way to stand up for your rights is to deprive the company whose policies you disagree with of your money and complain to the corporate HQ while not using their services. Throwing a toddler’s temper tantrum and ruining everyone else’s day when they didn’t have anything else to do with it is not the way to do it.
“The passenger who didnt want a mask IN ADDITION TO the face shield he was wearing”
I agree. Something interesting I did find about the marketing of those face shields. Where I work they are sold. The picture on the front of the box shows a man wearing just the face shield but the written instructions on the back state that a facemask still needs to be worn along with the face shield.
Masks? Welcome to the club. Try minding your own business while not wearing pants.
Yep I almost stun gunned someone who was harassing me on Sunday!
(why would you think that was sarcasm? tisk, tisk)
Small writing on back of box says you still need to wear a mask
Lol! But of course! You KNOW they’re putting it down as such
