There is simply put no way to implement the number one recommended guideline of social distancing at 6+ feet apart.
And if not able to do that masks are recommended.....which airlines have been reluctant to make mandatory.
Strike three; hundreds of people stuffed into an enclosed area for hours at a time.

There is a certain minimum level of seating on a plane that determines financial viability of the flight/airline. They, like restaurants should be mandated at what percent they can safely operate (most likely at a loss).

That has not happened. The guidelines in general are at best hit and miss as determined by the politics and special interests needs. Very little consistency of application.
