Some airlines letting passengers banned for mask violations back onboard

That sure will teach everyone a lesson! The rule was a valid effort to keep people safe and people who caused problems were penalized. So, if I endangered the crew and passengers but the rule is changed now because it is thought the health risk is lower, that does nothing to change what I did. Allowing these people back onboard sends a message that will be remembered the next time the health danger level escalates.

Not being a marketing expert, the only thing I find more confusing than doing this in the first place is announcing it before hand. What is the upside?

What’s weird is that the headline and article don’t match. They only give examples of airlines that aren’t doing anything different.
