Narrative:
The captain on this flight did not wear a mask during the flight. He gave a briefing to the flight attendants and also did not maintain 6 feet spacing. He willingly and knowingly put me and my family and the families of my flying partners in jeopardy. Company is required to provide a safe and healthy work environment for their employees; but they are not enforcing their own policy when it comes to pilots. People like this are slowing the recovery of the virus and are causing more furloughs than necessary. Flight attendants tell passengers all the time to put their mask on but then they see some pilots come on board without one. This puts the crews in a very awkward position. On this flight; there was not a bathroom break however if there was; I would not have gone into the cockpit without both pilots having a mask. This is not an isolated incident. This happens quite frequently. This issue is causing a breakdown in communication between the cockpit and cabin.
