    As I read, I kept expecting to hear "It's Satuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurday Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!".

    Really. The madness has to stop.

    The rule is the rule. They probably should have given him a warning.

    P.s. Maybe they did?

    Yah I find it hard to believe they didn’t tell him the rule and warn him before booting him.
    If not they’re *******s
    If so, he’s an *******.

    See the pictures from India recently? That's what happens when you have people not paying attention to rules.

    I'm sure they have voted a catastrophe by micromanaging how he eats his food...

    I would say the two warnings that he replied to and the pilot announced clearly for this bozo.

    Not to mention digging out from the seat or wherever and to be and preparing his goodies as this plane is generally should not be doing that as well! This poor flight attendant will have to dig that long stick from his throat. Yuck!

    As he hobbles and gets his wet candy kisses from the people a mere one foot each side and in front as the plane is trying to get up to speed. I would guess the seatmates are probably holding leaning are far as possible, and the stewards are doing exactly their jobs.

    There is a pandemic at the moment. The rule is masks at all times on a plane. Given how easy it is for airborne nasties to circulate, surely this is not surprising?

    Then why even take them off at all? You wont starve in a few hours, just think of the tremendous risk!

    No, the surprising part is the rule itself.

    This and other reasons is why I will never ride the airlines again.

    So much of the corporate world is fully engaged in promoting the official narrative. The airlines are at the top of the list of admirers of the Emperor's New Clothes, followed closely by professional sports, including Bull Riders and NASCAR. Men doing dangerous things and wearing a mask that does nothing but obstruct their airway and show they are playing the Fauci game.

    The world has gone crazy.

    I guess it's considered a benefit vs cost n this situation

    Airplanes are a flying coffin. Perfect place to catch airborne communicable diseases, particularly with long international travel. You have to assume that one or two people on the plane might have covid.

    I will bet my bottom dollar that the fellow thought that he was being very clever by holding a twizzler in his hand with his mask off claiming that he was eating. Anyone who refers to himself in the third person is clearly a ******. Also bottom dollar betting that he was in fact asked repeatedly to put his mask on.

    "I, Avi Mandel, just got kicked off a plane because I wasn’t wearing my mask in between bites while I was eating," he said.

    Country to populer belief, it's hard to catch something on a plane. There is a positive pressure system in place blows air through several filters. My godfather is a capt for American.

    Plane wide perhaps. Will take your word.

    From the net, though: ".... [ A sick] person has a roughly 80% chance of infecting everyone in their row on that side of the aisle, as well as those in the rows directly in front and behind them on that side, the study found."

    Multiply that by x, since covid is very infectious

    Anecdotally, I have a lot of bad luck

    We went through this mask dilemma a century ago with a portion of our population. Although we implemented fines for non-compliance in some jurisdictions then.

    I'm a believer in masks but if you are in a plane with a covid infected person, you are most likely gonna get covid. Its airborne and you got everyone shoved into a small space

    Seems like their should be more to this story but no elaboration in the OP source ... sounds too silly to be true at face value ...

    Do you remember in grade school, when you were taught that no situation is helped when people are hysterical and panicked?

    The left missed that lesson.
