anyway, it is jetblue and jetblue only. the guy that found a jetblue joins us right now.you think of your old haunts edict on face mask? do you agree with that? >> yeah, i think i do. when we were in 9/11, you know, it was a terrible thing in a terrible tragedy and nobody wanted to fly. the first thing, you know, i did is let's figure out how to put an armored cockpit door on the airplane. we were the first ones to do that. so i'm not surprised that jetblue is leading the way here. it's really all about making people feel comfortable. so if 90% of the people are already wearing masks -- i think masks is to narrow return. i think face coverings. there's a lot of ways you can put something on your face like a bandanna or scarf or something. all we are trying to do is keep down the droplets or needs or cough or something. you know, if people can feel more comfortable on an airplane, then why not? maybe not something that will last. but we are doing the same thing in brazil. it you know, i sent to our people, how many people are wearing face coverings? they said 95%. that's t

this is being ramped up by jetblue on may 4th, so next monday. i can tell you here at reagan international airport, of the very few passengers remaining, traveling here, it's hard to spot anyone not already wearing a mask. the flight attendants have been calling for this for weeks. not only do they want across-the-board requirement for paeng passengers to wear masks on board flights, but they also want the d.o.t. to impose even further restrictions banning any travel that is not essential, banning all leisure travel. interestingly, though, the tsa numbers of passenger counts passing through their tsa checkpoints show passenger loads are ticking up even slightly after they cratered around may 3rd. we're seeing passenger loads are still very low, a 90% drop year to year may be suggesting that states reducing their restrictions on folks state to state that now people are maybe getting a little bit more comfortable with wanting to travel now. >> yeah. we're seeing a lot of data like that. pete montene, thanks very much and welcome to cnn. >> thanks,

professor at samford university, doctor j an entrepreneur and founder of jetblue, david. thank you so much for being with us. i just want to start by asking you if there's anything there that i got wrong, anything you want to correct or add to from what i just said. >> sure. you did a fantastic job explaining the outline. there's only one thing i would add. we know this disease kills people and hospitals that are overwhelmed. a very important part has to be to try to understand where they're likely to become overwhelmed and maybe even delay the listing were those places will be overwhelmed. i think the vast majority of america, if we have good data we can try to understand where that's likely to happen. you can probably start reopening much more safely if we follow plan like this. >> could you just explain for our audience the significance of knowing all that so many more people have already been infected, will likely be infected then the case numbers we are currently seeing. tell us why does that matter so much to understand this is much more widespread than we thought.

starting monday, all jetblue passengers and crew will have to wear masks.r american airlines and united airlines, they will provide masks for passengers but only require crews to wear them. this is similar to delta airlines. the other big problem, experts suggest we stay six feet apart, which is, of course, almost impossible on a plane. how do we stay safe when we fly? with me now is the professor of mechanical engineering at purdue university, and a correspondent covering the story for us. if i could begin, i want to show some animation here that gets at the challenges of keeping the spread in check in confined spaces of an airplane. here's one person breathing, throwing up, you know, the virus in effect around the plane and how quickly it spreads. so how does wearing a mask solve the problem in such a confined space space? is it possible? does it solve the problem? >> yes, jim, it is possible because when you wear the masks, and then the droplets will be captured by the mask. although the efficiency is not very high, i believe the majority of the particle

. >> look, that's why the jetblue decision is so interesting to me. jetblue is requiring that all its passengers going forward wear masks as the first airline do so. there may be a public health reason for it, but think there's a business reason for it which they want the passengers and their customers to feel safe when they're on a plane. so they're doing it, i think, to promote business and welcome back people. sanjay, medical developments overnight.

jetblue announced that they're going to require that all passengers wear masks on flights from now onast for the foreseeable future. not a lot of people are flying, but i imagine more people might try soon, and it is an interesting place to be where when you get on a plane, at least a jetblue flight and i imagine other airlines will follow, everyone will be wearing a mask. will that make a difference are so this more of just a public health reality? >> i think it's a good idea, personally. when you go into a plane, you have people sitting next to you, you're in sort of closed space circulating air for defined period of time. and, you know, we don't know for sure, but i think that it is a useful way to be able to try to mitigate the spread of disease. and i think that we're doing that in many other public places, many states are requiring it. i think doing it for plane rides is equally a good idea. and i think that only time is going to tell how if we have, you know, outbreaks on people who are on planes together, masks will help prevent that. and i think it's a step in the right direc
