JUNEAU — Alaska Airlines said Saturday that it has banned state Sen. Lora Reinbold, R-Eagle River, from its flights for continuing to refuse to follow mask-wearing requirements for travelers.
No other airline has scheduled flights between Anchorage and Juneau, and Reinbold is now in Southcentral Alaska. A ferry trip could take several days.
“We have notified Senator Lora Reinbold that she is not permitted to fly with us for her continued refusal to comply with employee instruction regarding the current mask policy,” spokesman Tim Thompson said by email.
“This suspension is effective immediately, pending further review. Federal law requires all guests to wear a mask over their nose and mouth at all times during travel, including throughout the flight, during boarding and deplaning, and while traveling through an airport,” he said.

1. Well it is just a short little drive and ferry ride. Only 2 days and 850 miles.

Good for Alaska Airlines! Do not play around with these deliberate dumb fucks.
3. E.Z. Drive Too
Alaska N.E. to the Yukon, spend the night in Beaver Fart Falls, Yukon, then back down into S.E. Alaska, and then
2 + hour ferry boat trip.
She will be masking up PDQ. At one time the GOP had lots of smart people but those days are long gone.
Well she can listen to lots of right wing hate talk and anti science gibberish because she will have plenty of time do so on her "little trip."
5. ' Last year, she referred to airline staff as "mask bullies" and the airline itself as "part of mask tyranny'.
She sounds like a jerk!

............Reinbold has been vocal in her objections to COVID-19 mitigation measures and has repeatedly objected to Alaska Airlines’ mask policy, which was enacted in 2020 before the federal government began requiring masks aboard aircraft and public transportation earlier this year.
Last year, she referred to airline staff as “mask bullies” and the airline itself as “part of mask tyranny” after being asked by Alaska Airlines flight attendants to wear a mask aboard a flight. After the incident, she sent a cake to some airline flight attendants. The cake bore an inscription saying, “I’m sorry if I offended you.”
The airline’s ban comes after an incident this week at Juneau International Airport in which Reinbold was recorded apparently arguing with airport and Alaska Airlines staff about the mask policies.
A video posted to social media by the Alaska Landmine website appears to show part of the incident. A Juneau Police Department officer responded to the scene.
