A group of flight attendants from six different airlines filed a lawsuit this week against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, asking a judge to strike down the federal mask mandate.
The group is arguing that wearing a mask not only obstructs their ability to breathe normally but also endangers their physical safety as nearly 75 percent of the 5,800-plus incidents at airports and on airplanes last year resulted from passengers arguing about having to wear a mask.
VERTISING
The mask mandate was extended by the Biden Administration.
A group of 10 pilots filed a suit against the CDC over the mask mandate.
The flight attendants work for several airlines. The 61-page complaint was filed in the US District Court for the District of Colorado because the person who filed it was a Southwest Airlines flight attendant.
Vasendren said in a statement that masks impair our health and reduce flight safety. Doctors don't wear masks that long. The assault on the brain, organs, and tissues of the human body is called that. We are expected to make sure all aspects of the flight remain safe when masks are on.
The flight attendants charge the CDC and its parent agency with seven violations of the law. The flight attendants want the judge to permanently stop the two agencies from issuing it again.
Tammy Gipp, one of the nine flight attendants, is on medical leave from Frontier Airlines because she can't tolerate wearing a mask.
There were no studies done before the policy was rushed into effect.
