A former Alaska legislator who was banned from flying on Alaska Airlines for refusing to comply with coronavirus masking policies is now suing the airline and more than a dozen of its employees. Via AKpublicnews
According to the lawsuit, Reinbold had a medical condition that she says made breathing through a mask difficult.
The lawsuit says Reinbold was getting ready to board a flight out of Juneau on April 22, 2021, when she asked an Alaska Airlines check-in agent about an exemption to the airlines’ mask requirements. According to the lawsuit, there was some discussion about whether Reinbold had gotten a negative test result in the days prior to flight and whether providing her medical records to an Alaska Airlines doctor would violate medical privacy laws.
