We shall see what happens. I very much expected the US attorney to appeal the ruling, but maybe not.

Not for me. I am immunocompromised so I will stil wear my mask. I don't understand the being happy thing. i And that is your choice. The vast majority of us are not immunocompromised, and are therefore happy that we are not forced to wear them.

This doesn’t pertain to international flights just Domestic flights in the USA Not entirely accurate; it depends on the requirements of the destination. So what are the requirements of SXM?

Flying today and tomorrow. We'll be the individuals making our own decisions to wear a mask.

Long long overdue. Looking forward to not wearing a mask and if there is an appeal which I fully expect there to be one then I hope they appeal the decision by the court but still end the mask mandate.
I prefer the Isle seat

I am really surprised that the Justice Dept did not immediately file an appeal and ask for the mandate to remain in place. The standard for it remaining in place would be met fairly easily on appeal, so perhaps they are not going to appeal at all.

boucharda--I'm with you on that one. I will wear my mask on a plane for a while regardless, and ESPECIALLY at the airport, in those huge lines!!!! But I figure we will still have to test in June..

Our experience past two days international travel. Tuesday GCM - MIA. This was the day the mandate was lifted. GCM terminal was fully masked as I expect most folks did not know or GCM mandated it. Once airborne the pilot announced the change and while there were a few woooo hoooo's most stayed masked. Arrival at MIA terminal and again probably 75 % masked.
Wednesday MIA to SXM again I would guess after bypassing a line a mile long at TSA about 2/3 to 3/4 were masked. On board cabin crew were masked while serving, unmasked the rest of the time. PJIA would not allow arriving passengers into terminal until they put on a mask.
We wore our n95's through it all. I expect masked numbers will go down fairly quickly
