This is all a fun mob justice idea. But you know who isn’t on the no-fly list? Murderers. Rapists. Jan. 6 coup participants. Drunk drivers who killed people. Michael Flynn. Bernie Madoff (dead, I know). Deadbeat dads. The list goes on.

Long-term though, this places an extreme risk of eliminating virtually all air traffic to Miami as the clientele are no-fly’d due to outbursts of violence at various stages of the air travel journey.

Flying on a plane is not a “right.”

With the exception that one of the unmasked idiots might give it to me, I’d take it home and it would kill my wife or my 91yo dad. She’s seriously immunocompromised, just like any number of other folks dealing with chemo or similar immunocompromised conditions.

We’re kind of tired of having done all we can to with…

The masks aren’t starting the fights, it’s the idiots with zero empathy who refuse to wear them and can’t show you where on the Constitution the nasty face covering hurt them.

They can drive. 

Well, sure, but I believe your points don’t take into account some subtle, lesser-known factors:

Using proper masks reduces spread by 53% which still has a significant impact on those vaccinated due to Omicron’s ability to slip by the first level of your immune system. It’s just a mask, if you are flying domestically (excluding Hawaii) you might need it for five hours on the plane. Deplane anyone who is too…

EXCEPT.................the airlines own the planes, run the routes, etc. It’s THEIR company. If they say “On our planes we insist on masks” either comply, find a airline with different views, or f’in walk.

No.

It should be this way anyway.

“Its the masks that are starting the fights”

You are dangerously, perhaps wilfully, incorrect.

The masks aren’t just for the wearer; they protect those around them. Cloth masks especially, favoured early in the pandemic due to supply issues, are incredibly asymmetric in whom they protect.

A certain segment of the population needs to get over this infantile “you’re not the boss of me” attitude about living in a modern society. When you are patronizing a private, highly regulated business in which mistakes can result in many people dying, it is entirely reasonable to require you to abide by certain…

Putting these people on a no-fly list wouldn’t be denying them transportation. They could still drive, take a bus, or take a train to distant destinations.

This would be fine if we had proof of vaccination to fly, but otherwise it’s one half of a solution. My opinion is that if your freedoms prevent you from receiving the vaccine, then you’re free to use your car and experience America’s many miles of beautiful roadways.

Another way to deal is to mandate vaccines for flights and eliminate the mask requirement. That way these schmucks never make it on the manifest in the first place.

It’s unclear if the two had had a prior run-in on the road, or if the truck driver simply didn’t want the sedan getting ahead.
