Delta, United and Alaska Airlines have banned more than 900 passengers for not wearing masks
With airlines imposing mandatory mask requirements on flights amid the coronavirus pandemic, many unhappy passengers have made headlines for being removed from flights for refusing to wear a mask. And with some carriers keeping no-fly lists of passengers who violated the policy, it is now clear that more than 900 passengers have been banned from airlines because of their refusal to put on a mask.

There's some resistance to masking over here in Germany, but not nearly at the scale seen in the US. Too much liberty and too much control are both capable of infantilizing people. What's missing over here is the sheer scale of loathing of difference seen in the US. There's conformity on the extreme right and conformity on the extreme left. Justice isn't a part of the equation as much as is simply having it one's own way. Burger King society.
This past week, on my flight from MIA, a person in First would not wear their mask properly....They were asked to leave.
As we taxied two others in the rear of the plane decided mask time was over. We turned to the penalty box and sat for twenty minutes. Then it was return to the gate, where airport police and a couple of larger gentlemen helped escort the two other passengers off the aircraft. As the female passenger was leaving her statements were overflowing with profanities and made the final statement of, "I hope this f----ing plane crashes!" Her sidekick was screaming, "THIS IS RACISM!!"
Now, while I m no fan of wearing a mask, although I fall into two of the "high risk" categories, I will wear my mask to stay within regulations of the airlines I fly with.

Back in the day, every business posted a sign that said "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone". I think every business has this right, period. Now, the courts have included some "but"s.
I'm curious as to these three carriers are sharing their lists. If not, they should.
This could be a huge boost for Amtrak in the coming years.
They will get kicked off Amtrak, too.
