LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A Delta passenger created a stir when she was escorted off a flight heading into Lexington from Atlanta.
She refused to wear her mask, even after flight attendants reminded her its a federal mandate.
For frequent flyer Father Jim Sichko, his Monday afternoon plane trip into Lexington hit a bumpy start before takeoff.
The baggage claim was full of irritated travelers who departed Delta flight 1088, almost 40 minutes late, because a passenger refused to wear her mask.
Its very frustrating because I find its very selfish of people. You know before you get onto the airplane, you have to check several boxes before you can even print your boarding passes. Its just a sign of immaturity, Father Sichko said. ...........(more)

a mask on? Or do they actually go to the trouble to wear the mask on the plane and then take it off?

(22,459 posts)6. So they must be planning the whole thing. If they checked the boxes
saying they would comply before they got on and wore one in the airport and while boarding then they purposely take them off? That sounds like another broken law on top of just not wearing mask.

to do something to them - at least they weren't in mid flight
