Airline Bans Alaska Senator for Refusing to Put on Masks

April 27, 2021 — A Republican state senator in Alaska has been banned from Alaska Airways for refusing to obey face masks guidelines.

“We’ve notified Senator Lora Reinbold that she will not be permitted to fly with us for her continued refusal to adjust to worker instruction relating to the present masks coverage,” spokesman Tim Thompson informed the Anchorage Every day Information on Saturday, CBS Information reported.

The ban is efficient instantly and its size might be decided by evaluation, Thompson mentioned.

Reinbold, a Republican of Eagle River who has repeatedly objected to Alaska Airline’s masks coverage, mentioned she hasn’t been notified of the ban and hoped to be on a flight with the airline within the close to future, CBS Information reported.
