Yesterday, a federal judge in Florida lifted the Biden Administration’s national COVID mask mandate for planes and other forms of public transportation, pretty much because the CDC doesn’t have the authority to issue a mandate like that, and they couldn’t make a true case as to why masks should be federally mandated in all forms of transportation.
It’s an awesome sight to see, because we’re finally starting to get closer to a full-time sense of normalcy again for the first time since early March of 2020.
Of course, I’m gonna miss the weekly fights on airplanes over masks, but hey, I’ll trade some heated airplane confrontations for the opportunity to drink ice cold beer on my flight again.
With that being said, we’ve seen some awesome videos of passengers celebrating on planes, as the pilot announces the mask mandate has been lifted.
And shoutout to all the airlines workers who are finally finding out some of their co-workers are smoking hot. Good for them…
Let’s take a look at some of the best reactions so far:

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking. This is the most important announcement I’ve ever made. The federal mask mandate is over. Take off your mask if you choose!”

No more mask mandate in the airports or on the planes!
This morning i was able to enjoy my first maskless flight in over a year!
It is particularly a cause for celebration for people like me who have several flights every week.#USA#freedom pic.twitter.com/QyLyhl4ERu

Here’s the reaction today from two Southwest employees who have been forced to participate in theater in their workplace long after most Americans. The travel mask mandate has been halted, 3 months after the CDC admitted that cloth masks are ineffective. #covid #maskmandate pic.twitter.com/dXBCc94dLY
