this year, with the most high-profile incidents -- like the man who was duct-taped to his seat over the summer -- taking place on U.S. flights.
on interim orders related to COVID-19 recorded 1,093 incidents of passengers refusing to comply with mask-wearing during a flight. WestJet has a three-step, zero-tolerance mask policy for each flight that begins with cabin crew asking a passenger to wear their mask. Unco-operative passengers are then given a warning that masks are required and compliance is necessary. The final warning involves giving a passenger notice that non-compliance will result in being notified that they will be placed on a no-fly list for 12 months.
Transport Canada cautions that while it aims to ensure CADORS data is accurate, the information should be treated as preliminary and subject to change. “Because once you're in the air it gets very complicated, but it's also extremely pricey. If once you take off you have to turn around and land that plane or land at a different airport -- nobody wants to do that.”
In one case, a passenger on flight from Calgary to Halifax was reported as likely intoxicated, not wearing a mask, and pretending to sneeze on other passengers. The individual also touched a cabin crew member and threatened another passenger, the report said, with crew labelling the offender as “level 3 unruly.” The passenger was handcuffed and taken into custody on arrival. as “an incident where the safety of passengers or crew members is seriously threatened.
“They didn’t sign up to be the mask police...They weren’t sitting around saying, ‘oh, I can’t wait to get a job where I can just yell at people to put their masks on,’” said Winters.
Refusal to mask before getting on a plane should be automatic call for Police to eject that person
Charge them to the max, no excuses, 10 year ban on all flights,
Any that deliberately sneeze or cough on others should be met by police & heavily fined for assault. Also, these crazed antimaskers antivaxxers should be put on no-fly lists in Canada. Canadians are tired of these troublemakers. TransportCA JustinTrudeau
