Spirit Airlines passenger was told to expect local police to be waiting for him after an argument with a flight attendant over face masks was captured on video and shared to social media.
The video begins during the conversation with the passenger—who is unnamed—telling the Spirit Airlines employee that he is wearing a mask.
In response, the flight attendant asks what he is wearing under his mask and that the cloth around his nose and mouth is not “legally” a mask. The conversation below:
I’m wearing a mask.
No.
What do you have underneath this? This is not legal to wear.
I’m wearing a mask—Legal by who? Legal by who? What’s wrong with my mask?
It is not legal according to the CDC.
Really?
Really. That’s why I handed you a mask.
Show me those rules.
I don’t have to show you the rules.
Well, I don’t have to wear the mask that you gave me. I’m wearing the mask that I have. I’ve been on 20 flights, okay? I’ve literally been on 20 flights with this same exact mask. Alright? I’m done talking.
Well, so am I. And I’ll have the authorities waiting for you when we land.
Okay, sounds good.

The flight attendant that “follows the rules” had his mask down under his nose! https://twitter.com/MaggiePeggy123/status/1307084478867804160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1307085014044233730%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstatenation.com%2Fvideo-flight-attendant-with-the-mask-under-his-nose-threatens-passenger-with-arrest-over-patriotic-face-covering-it-is-not-legal-according-to-the-cdc%2F
Spirit Airlines did send an apology or some sort of an apology:

The patriotiotic mask covered more than the flight attendant loose mask which was creeping down his nose and he kept pushing it up with his hands. ‘I don’t need to show you anything’. Spirit hires unstable attendants. He bullied and threatened a passenger. He should be fired.
[[Spirit hires unstable attendants. He bullied and threatened a passenger. He should be fired.]]
And spirit airline sued- could be a very profitable flight for the victim of bullying-
“Not legal”? I didn’t know the CDC was a legislative body. (But I don’t know everything.)
[[Threatening Criminal Action is the very definition of EXTORTION and a FELONY Everywhere in the USA,]]
Exactly- Bullying and intimidation- sure it was against a man that coulda folded the flight attendant twit into a pretzel no doubt- but that isn’t the point- noone deserves to be treated like that - ever-
Exactly.
[[and we require Guests to double up gaiters so they’re dual-layered.]]
So the airline is fine with causing air starvation and possible physical problems with folks from not enough oxygen?
A single mask is bad enough- ‘requiring’ people to double up is doubly unnaceptable-
Why does this FA still have a job?
They require an effective mask. Doubling up would be the customer’s choice.
You fly where you can get a flight and with reasonable rates. One faggot ‘stewie ‘ doesn’t make a company. I assume he was disciplined.
Exactly. I ask myself that any time I'm in a store.
Walmart customers have been the worst I've seen. Young folks are the worst offenders (they're used to getting away with things, no self discipline) but I see plenty of others pulling their masks down to talk on a cell phone while walking the store or to talk to a worker when they need help. HELLO! That's when the workers needs you to keep the damn mask on most, not when you're alone in far off an aisle!
The proper, simple word is STEWARD.
The lady would be STEWARDESS.
Sorry, off my soapbox.
Probably a LEFTIE GAY!
From Goggle:
By the end of the 1970s, the term stewardess had generally been replaced by the gender-neutral alternative flight attendant. More recently the term cabin crew or cabin staff has begun to replace ‘flight attendants’ in some parts of the world, because of the term’s recognition of their role as members of the crew.
Don't tell me this is a thing. I just ran a treadmill test wearing a mask on my face as required by my healthcare provider.
It's a BS excuse to avoid wearing a proper mask. The passenger had a choice to wear the gater over the provided mask (and take the supposed risk) or just wear the provided mask. Or DON'T FLY.
CDC mask recommendations:
Overview
Wear masks with two or more layers to stop the spread of COVID-19
Wear the mask over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin
Masks should be worn by people two years and older
Masks should NOT be worn by children younger than two, people who have trouble breathing, or people who cannot remove the mask without assistance
Do NOT wear masks intended for healthcare workers, for example, N95 respirators
CDC does not recommend the use of gaiters or face shields. Evaluation of these face covers is on-going but effectiveness is unknown at this time.

This illustrates perfectly what the “mask” is all about. Not public safety, public submission.
Flight Attendant(s).
Eventually political correctness will reduce them to being referred to as 'Arline affiliated carbon based units'.
Even wearing a face diaper, the pronouced lisp of this stewardess was quite evident. He really needs to avoid words starting or ending in “s” if he wants to be taken seriously.
A mask is like using a chain link fence to keep out mosquitoes.
