US carrier JetBlue will start requiring all customers to wear a face covering while traveling, the airline announced Monday. “This is the new flying etiquette,” Joanna Geraghty, president and chief operating officer of JetBlue, said in a news release. The airlines will join United, JetBlue and Frontier in requiring masks be worn by flight attendants during flights. The new regulations follow outrage on social media over a crowded American Airlines flight with many passengers not wearing masks. The Association of Flight Attendants, which represents United flight attendants but not those at JetBlue, American, Delta or Southwest, asked the federal government to require that passengers wear masks.-AP
