Man with mask on face in airplane seat with two tweets in opposite corners left tweet reads "My wife texted me that the pilot of @Delta flight 769 from ATL to SFO just announced that #masks are now optional. Mid-flight, no less! And some people are taking them off, of course. Feels unfair to the people who boarded with a different expectation." right tweet reads " Mid-flight to Burbank on @AlaskaAir and the flight attendant took it upon herself to announce that the mask mandate was lifted and encouraged everyone to take their masks off and blank were hooting and hollering. Fun fun fun times."

People are pointing out how airlines’ new mask-optional policy alienates young children and the immunocompromised

They're livid about the change, which in some cases was announced mid-flight.
