I'm not a fan of the wearing mask on the plane also. What happens when you wear a mask then take it off once they are high enough? It's not like they're gonna turn around and make emergency landing right?

Assuming the flight attendants instruct you to keep the mask on, you will be violating federal law if you don't comply and will likely be arrested once the plane lands. To be clear, this is not a law about masks, this is a law about complying with flight attendants.

That's what the guy in the article apparently failed to understand. There might not be a law about wearing masks in planes, but he still violated the law by not complying with the request to wear one.

It doesn't have to be the law. Airline companies are a business and you abide by their terms when using the business. I thought Trump supporters had a hard on for big business being able to do whatever they want.

True, but as noted above flight attendants have even more authority than that. While working onboard they are federal agents.
