Hospitals are facing a deadly shortage of masks as people protect themselves against the coronaviruses. To fill the gap, retailers have started making masks out of factories that used to make shoes and clothes. Business Insider spoke with two retailers about how they stopped normal production, designed prototypes, and set up mask-manufacturing lines in a matter of days.

10 pilots working at JetBlue, American Airlines and Southwest are suing the CDC over the federal mask mandate.Getty Images
  • The CDC is being sued by pilots at major US airlines.

  • The suit says the federal mask mandate ignores scientific studies that show it is not effective.

  • It was alleged that it posed a risk to the health of pilots.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is being sued by a group of pilots who work for major US airlines.

According to the lawsuit, the 10 pilots work for commercial airlines.

The pilots alleged that the CDC acted without giving public notice or soliciting comment.

Commercial aircraft are subject to the mask mandate. It was extended for 30 days on March 10. The rule will remain in effect until April 18.

The revised framework will be based on the community levels, risk of new variant, national data, and the latest science, the TSA said in a statement.

The pilots claim that the federal policy ignores countless scientific and medical studies and articles showing that face masks are harmful to human health in at least 68 ways.

They alleged that they had serious concerns about the safety implications of the mask mandate in relation to unruly passenger behavior incidents caused by mask policies.

As pilots for major airlines, we have seen up close and personal the chaos in the sky created by the FTMM, with thousands of reports to the Federal Aviation Administration of unruly passenger behavior.

The pilots said that the worst year on record for buffoonish behavior on planes was in 2021.

There were over 4,000 mask-related incidents reported by the FAA. The FAA had more than 75% of its unruly incidents come from people refusing to wear masks. The agency proposed fines against unruly passengers.

The suit claims that the mask mandate endangers pilots health and endangers aviation safety.

The suit alleged that wearing a mask before and during flight causes many medical deficiencies.

The pilots claimed that they were morally obligated to act.

They requested that the court remove the requirement to wear a mask at all airports, transportation hubs, and other locations worldwide, as well as compensate all legal costs and fees.

Insider requested comment from the airlines outside of normal working hours, but they did not respond.
