Why the mask mandate on planes is good for business
CNN
Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly stirred up some controversy Wednesday when he suggested that wearing masks on planes did little to prevent the spread of Covid.
"I think the case is very strong that masks don't add much if anything in the air cabin environment," he said in response to a question at a Senate hearing. "It is very safe and very high quality compared to any other indoor setting."
Two days later Southwest disclosed that Kelly, who was not wearing a mask at the hearing, had tested positive for Covid.
In her cameo in the 1996 comedy First Wives Club, Ivana Trump offers a witty post-divorce kernel of wisdom: “Don’t get mad, get everything.” The 2024 version of that sentiment, at least among a certain class of billionaire women, might tack on an addendum: Get everything, and give it all away as fast as humanly possible.
