On this flight; I feel the safety of passengers and crew were put in jeopardy. A uniformed; non-revenue pilot felt that the company policy that all passengers and crew members must wear a face covering didn't apply to him. He stated that he had a doctor's note stating he didn't have to wear it. The agent spoke with him and the working pilot; and they both decided that he didn't need to wear the mask. I didn't feel safe enough to fly; and removed myself from the flight. I question why; in a pandemic; the Captain has sole authority over this type of safety procedure.All employees need to be aware of company safety procedures.
Flight Attendant reported a non-revenue passenger was allowed to ride on the flight and not required to wear a face mask.
