Delta Says No To Masks With Valves; Will Offer Complimentary Mask
If you’re planning to fly with Delta Air Lines, be sure to leave home any masks with valves as the airline will not allow you to use them on-board. (www.gatechecked.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If people can’t follow guidelines or rules of each airline, then find another airline. Or how about this, don’t travel at all.
Flat-fitting, close around the edges, valveless masks can effect co2, can even displace oxygen levels in our bodies. On a 2-3 hour flight not good; Need the valves, with filtration. Good info on the subj @ NIH... article on face masks.
Give your head a shake and do some basic research!
“ A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention representative told Reuters that carbon dioxide, indeed, will collect between the mask and face but not in dangerous amounts and certainly not enough to cause hypercapnia. A mask is designed to trap viral droplets, much larger than tiny carbon dioxide particles. A mask, either N95 or cloth, cannot trap all carbon dioxide particles — they either go through the mask or escape along the mask’s perimeter.”

They are being picky with that?! What about when you're eating, you're not even wearing it, and they are picky about the valve?! And what about social distancing?! Are there empty seats in-between?! Some planes have people packed in there like sardines. So get off your high horse Delta.
The whole reason for the masks is due to not being able to physical distance properly on an aircraft. On international flights, middle seats are vacant to assist with distancing.
If you do not like Delta's mandatory policies, find another airline.

Delta isn’t selling middle seats and have also cut the number of passengers allowed. Same with Southwest.
