American Flights Attendants Will Get Face Masks

Fort Worth (WBAP/KLIF)  Starting Friday, Fort Worth based American Airlines will require all flight attendants to wear face masks.  The masks will be offered to passengers as well.  The airline made the move after the flight attendant’s union called for an increase in access to personal protective equipment.  The airline will also hand out hand sanitizing wipes to passengers.  In a statement on the company’s website, Senior VP Kurt Stache said, “our team members on the front line are truly going above and beyond during this time… We will continue to work with them to make sure they have the equipment they need to feel safe.”
