A group of commercial airline pilots filed a lawsuit against the CDC in an attempt to strike down the federal transportation mask mandate, according toThe 10 pilots, who work for American Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Southwest Airlines, said the CDC’s mask mandate is an “illegal and unconstitutional exercise of executive authority.”
Following the CDC order, the Transportation Security Administration issued a mask mandate in February 2021, which was set to expire in May 2021. The TSA has extended the mandate several times as the pandemic has continued, and last week, it extended the policy again until April 18. However, the pilots claimed in their lawsuit that the policy was adopted despite “countless scientific and medical studies and articles showing that face masks are totally ineffective.”
So far this year, the Federal Aviation Administration has received 889 reports of unruly passengers, with 587 cases related to masks, according to the agency’s. In 2021, the FAA received nearly 6,000 unruly passenger cases, with 4,290 being mask-related.
