March 9, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is putting airline passengers and crew at risk by demanding that air traffic controllers wear masks even while communicating vital information to pilots, according to a controller who reached out to investigative journalist Alex Berenson.
Last week, the FAA released an updated Safety Alert for Operators that calls for compliance with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC’s) February order “requiring the use of masks on public conveyances (including aircraft) traveling into, within, or out of the United States, and in U.S. transportation hubs including airports.”
The document “includes an exemption if wearing a mask would create a risk to workplace health, safety, or job duty as determined by the relevant workplace safety guidelines or federal regulations,” but on Sunday, Berenson shared an email he says he received from an air traffic controller indicating that, in practice, exceptions aren’t being made for safety or job duty, and that forcing him to wear a mask even while communicating with pilots makes it harder for pilots to accurately understand him.
