A group of 309 pilots and flight attendants asked an appeals court to declare the federal government’s mask rule permanently illegal—after a Florida judge struck down the mandate earlier this week.

The group, who work for 16 airlines and are based in 35 states, filed arguments this week urging the court to permanently block the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from mandating a mask mandate.
