Two of the nation's three largest airlines have admitted to Newsy, masks are not always required for their pilots in the cockpit, contrasting information they previously provided to us. Newsy reported Tuesday American Airlines removed a captain from a flight, without pay, for insisting his colleague wear a mask in the cockpit.
