Mar 3, 2012 - They're not masks...Americans are proud of what they do we don't wear "masks" They wear them for a few reasons. #1 To protect them from flying debris while operating outside the aircraft. #2 While operating outside the aircraft they are more easily understood while transmitting on their microphones because of all the wind..
