Airline executives are asking the federal government to expand its no-fly list to include unruly passengers rather than repeal the masking rules that are making so many passengers unruly in the first place.
Over the weekend, media outlets reported on a Thursday-dated letter sent by Delta CEO Ed Bastian asking U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to adopt a "zero tolerance" policy toward in-flight disruption. Specifically, Bastian asked that passengers convicted of disruption onboard a flight be added to a national, comprehensive, unruly passenger "no-fly" list that would bar them from flying on any commercial airline.
