A Florida man was kicked off of an United Airlines flight earlier this month for wearing women’s underwear over his nose and mouth instead of a mask.
“The customer clearly wasn’t in compliance with the federal mask mandate and we appreciate that our team addressed the issue on the ground prior to takeoff, avoiding any potential disruptions on the air,” the United Airlines said in a statement.
In a video that is being widely shared on social media the flight attendant can be heard saying, “You’re going to have to come off the airplane. We’re not going to let you travel,” said a flight attendant in a cell phone video recorded by a passenger.
“Why?” responds the man.
“You’re not in mask compliance,” says the attendant in the video.
The man while talking to a media outlet said that he believes his underwear mask followed the guidelines of the airline regarding the masks. However, he also said this isn’t the first flight he’s been kicked off of for this.
