The White House won't rule out appealing the suit that overturned the CDC’s mask mandate for planes, trains and other public transportation. The Biden admin is awaiting the DOJ's review, which will “take a couple of days,' said press secretary Jen Psaki.
A passenger wearing a mask enters a line to drop off his bag with Delta airlines at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Tuesday, April 19, 2022, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
“If the CDC changes their assessment, which certainly at some point they will, we would follow that guidance,” Psaki said. A spokesperson for DOJ did not immediately return POLITICO’s request for comment. Following the ruling, TSA on Monday evening said it will no longer enforce its directive requiring mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs. Major U.S. airlines quickly followed suit, dropping their mask mandates for employees and customers. The airlines include budget carriers Spirit Airlines, Frontier Airlines and Allegiant Air, and regional-service airlines Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines.
“I’m really disheartened to see that because we should never be taking off with one set of rules with people in a confined space and changing the rules on them mid-flight,” even though she said many air crew applauded the change because it means no longer having to enforce the requirement.
