Nine flight attendants have filed suit against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its parent agency, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), over the federal transportation mask mandate.
The 61-page complaint (pdf), filed March 24 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, argues that, while obstructing their normal breathing harms their health, the requirement to enforce the mandate on travelers also endangers aviation safety as tens of thousands of passengers refuse to comply.
