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.

Pretty sure they did say they are not going to appeal...

Why wasn’t there any references to back up masks

I hope they do. Let’s see how well a new round of bullshit will fly with a population that has seen enough of this administration’s failures. stunnedmuppet

My flight is tonight maskless yahoo

Waiting on the DOJ is like watching grass grow in the wintertime.

Why weren’t they ready for this

If the Biden Admin was smart, and it is not, it would wait to see if there is a spike in Covid, that could then trigger reimposing anti-Covid steps. Mask War 1 is OVER.
