See the yellow card Alaska Airlines will give to passengers who refuse to wear masks on its flights

• Alaska Airlines is enforcing the mandatory face covering policy onboard its aircraft by issuing written warnings in the form of yellow cards, like the ones in a soccer match. 
• "The safety of guests and employees is always our top priority, but we also need your cooperation to help keep each other safe," the card says. "This is why Alaska Airlines requires guests to wear a face mask or covering while on board, except when eating or drinking." 
• Those who continue to not wear a face covering may be banned from flying the airline in the future.

Alaska Airlines is taking a page out of the soccer handbook in its enforcement of face coverings onboard its aircraft.

Starting June 30, passengers who do not comply with the airline's requirement to wear a face covering onboard Alaska Airlines aircraft will now be given a written warning in the form of a yellow card, according to an airline blog post. Flight crew who notice non-compliance will be tasked with enforcing the rule, aimed at removing "tension and anxiety" from the aircraft.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
