The "Almighty Dollar" wins the day !


It would seem to me Joe Biden honestly verbalized his opinion.  I am confident he is not alone and no one is saying he is an expert on air quality in airplanes, however, he brings up a viable subject the airline industry needs to address in a professional dynamic rather than 'crying about a fairness issue.'

If I were CEO of American Airlines and had absolutely no documentation regarding the air quality as related to infectious disease, I would be investing in masks for consumers to use to allay fears rather than allowing fear to exist among their clientelle.  

It would show sensitivity to the needs of passengers.  No one would have to recommend the use of the mask, but, allowing the fear to exist in the face of lack of evidence otherwise; it is the passenger's integrity regarding rational concerns that is more important.

Where is that High Speed Magnetic Rail anyway?
