This shouldn’t come as a shock. For quite some time, the air travel industry rallied against the mask mandate, even writing a letter to federal officials, calling for the end of the mandate.
Airline companies likewise made a point of noting that the quality of air filtration on planes is cleaner and better than in other environments where people go maskless all the time.
Since the federal judge’s removal of this mask mandate, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is not upholding it any longer.
Meanwhile, various social media posts about the change are making waves. People are notifying of airline workers saying that they’re no longer under a mask requirement.
The reaction from the White House
In the wake of Judge Mizelle’s revocation of the mandate, the White House does not like it. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said it is a “disappointing” decision and urged people to keep wearing masks anyway.
Despite the White House’s disappointment, many Americans remain satisfied with the ruling.
