On August 20th 2021, the TSA announced that it would extend the mask mandate on airplanes until March 18th 2022. This deadline could, of course, be extended again.
Mask mandates have been widely introduced in response to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. In most places, it is mandatory to travel with masks on airplanes, either due to the carrier (airplane operator) or due to government mandates.
This question will resolve NO if government mask mandates are removed for ordinary airplane passengers (not e.g. airplane staff) on domestic flights in the United States before March 20th, and at least 3 large carriers have no mask mandates on March 20th 2022. Mandates must be removed for all travelers regardless of prior disease history and vaccination status. Any mandate requiring passengers to wear face masks will prevent this question from resolving as YES; that is, the mandate may be justified for any reason, not only to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
Feb 16, 6:42pm: *Any mandate will prevent this question from resolving as NO, not YES, as I had written.
