Airline Pilots Sue Over The Federal Mask Mandate

Ten pilots from three airlines are suing the federal government over a mask mandate they say is illegal.

The fights that have erupted among airline passengers over masks are becoming a legal fight brewing in the cockpit. 

Ten pilots from three airlines are suing the federal government over a mask mandate they say is illegal, jeopardizes safety, and is leading to passengers behaving badly. 

Jeff Chandler is a pilot for Southwest Airlines and one of the ten plaintiffs. He says not only are masks uncomfortable, they can make it hard to breathe, lowering oxygen in the blood and leading to headaches and dizziness.
