@@erauprcwa Um that is true. They got repeated warnings about low pressure and even decided to take that particular aircraft out of serving Etops flights to Hawaii because of it. Not too mention that Alaska has a history of bad maintenance practices which led to one of their planes crashing into the Pacific off of California in 2000. Yes some people were forced to resign afterwards but clearly some of the same bad practices have remained. Yes Boeing deserves a huge part of the blame themselves but Alaska is far from innocent too.

@@svscared It's not a warning, it's a caution light. It doesn't tell you about "low pressure". It's a pressure controller. There's two auto functions functions and one manual. If one controller fails, it automatically goes to the second controller. Per the quick reference handbook, if required, you can go into manual function to manually control the pressure controller for the aircraft. This happening doesn't mean the airplane cannot fly. Do you not drive your car if you have a interior light go out? NO. Also, not every airplane can do ETOPS. I'm sure you don't even know the requirements for ETOPS. For example, a working APU is a requirement. If the airplane's APU doesn't work, it can still fly. It just won't be doing ETOPS flights. That doesn't mean the airplane isn't safe. One incident isn't a "history" of bad maintenance from over 20 years ago. How do I know all of this? I fly the airplane and know exactly the internal details within Alaska. Everything you've stated is inaccurate, false, and the NTSB has already disproven your claims.

A couple years ago, I would've defended them too. They've got great pilots (except maybe the mushroom king), their miles program was good, they had a great track record of leaving and arriving on time, and your bags went the same place you did and came out on the carousel quickly. But lately, that miles program isn't so great. And then I had 3 trips out of 4 where I had to file a bag claim. Luckily, 2 of those 3 were upon arriving back home. But one wasn't. Nothing like washing brand-new undies a few hours before I'm supposed to be at work, after flying all day long. And there was a bit of disruption with the first round of MAX issues. All eggs in one basket -- ouch. That sucked, but we got through it. And then the engine thing (which.. sure... that's on that guy, not the airline), and then MORE issues with the MAX. And then cancelled flights due to weather, making a strained fleet spread even MORE thin. On my last itinerary, I got ONE of SIX flights. The rest were cancelled. Nine hour hold times by phone. Text and web chat support _turned off._ I was successfully flown from my temporary stay to a different airport, where I had no accommodations, and no way home. Because of weather and downed planes, it was going to be TWO DAYS before I could get another flight. Which, compared to _some_ poor souls, actually wasn't bad! Their solution: They had rebooked my itinerary from Portland (but I'm in Chicago!) to Seattle to Anchorage, and then I was expected to be _back_ in Chicago a few hours later (by teleportation, I guess?) to fly to San Francisco and then back to Portland, which would be my final destination. Except I don't live in Portland... So I booked an alternate, same day flight on Delta. AK Air still had my luggage, though, so I tried to file a claim for it.... and was told that "Delta needs to do that, since they brought you to your final destination." The airline that I bought a brand-new ticket on -- since AK didn't have a reasonable alternative, and customer service was unobtanium -- is supposed to be responsible for luggage I never placed in their care? That's assanine. Delta's baggage service agreed with me. "Yeah.. we have nothing to do with this." I know, right?! So, AFAIC, Alaska Airlines is on time-out until they can get their 💩 together. They _were_ a great airline. Now, they're a complete chaotic mess.

It’s unfortunate, but the FAA doesn’t really have a way for pilots to get much needed mental health care. If they get any kind of diagnosis like depression, it’s grounds for losing their FAA medical certificate, in turn their ability to fly planes and their jobs. It takes them years and thousands of dollars to fight to get it back. The industry needs to change. The poor pilot at the center of it had been having a difficult time coping with the loss of his close friend. I believe he used the shrooms as a form of self-medicating to try to deal with the loss.

Why? They have a history of incidents and bad airline/business practices and are the reason why a great airline like Virgin America is no more and now want to merge with Hawaiian too. They suck.

@@erauprcwa Well in addition to this and 261 there was also the Horizon maintenance guy who hijacked the plane in Seattle in 2018 and the copilot who tried to hijack the plane and turn off the engines earlier this year. Probably a few more examples I'm forgetting as well but those incidents definitely don't spell out a healthy airline or work culture.

@@svscared So that's external issues. People having behavioral health issues isn't something the airline can stop. Someone having mental health issues is a personal issue that happens at every airline. Other airlines over the years have had similar incidents of pilots/employees having mental breaks at work... Jetblue, Delta, American, FedEx, United... all have had public incidents of pilots and/or crew having mental breakdowns during flight.

The funny sketch of the night watching the plane take off with the escape sides already inflated was hilarious.

As they say, "it's not about about the destination, it's about the journey."

This is HYSTERICAL. And I am both a flight attendant and an actor and I appreciate having a laugh about this; look, it's a satire. We deserve to be roasted -- obviously, no one is laughing at how traumatizing this was for the crew, passengers, and how much worse it could have been. Mostly, I am happy people (especially my former Emirates cabin crew colleagues) now know it is AlaskA (not Alaskan). The true discussion in the media after this should be about the corporate greed at Boeing and all the whistleblowers that have come out about the safety culture there. I hope the media and public keeps the pressure on Boeing. This could have happened to United Airlines first, but it just so happened to be on AS. Sadly, lots of problems with this MAX aircraft, confidence in this plane seems to be minimal at this point. Boeing has a long road ahead of them.

That's the best SNL thing they have done in years! Love it!!

Super funny bit. I haven't really flown a lot, maybe 15 or 20 separate flights in my entire life, but Alaska Airlines seemed to do a better job than all the other airlines I've used. Planes were always cleaner and newer.

Most of these comments show that most people don't have Boeing makes the planes and the root cause of the problem is on them since it was a QA/QC failure. Alaska is at fault too due to ignoring the cabin pressure fault warning. Still there is no reason to believe that this could not have happened with any other airline that files the Boeing 737 Max 9.

@@OneOfEightBillionThere was never a pressure fault. The media kinda threw this out there in a misleading way without having the information and the NTSB quickly came out and disproved it. It was a caution light that illuminated for the primary controller of the auto-pressurization system. There was never a pressurization problem with the plane and not what that caution light means. Because the light that went on is for a triple redundant system, the airline was able to safely move to the secondary auto pressurization controller without any incidents. The secondary system worked fine and the plane pressurized fine. They did exactly what the aircraft’s MEL states. Because there are two automatic systems and a backup manual system, the plane can by flown safely with only one automatic system (since all 3 do the same thing)

As someone from Alaska who regularly takes Alaska Airlines we’re still a better airline than Spirit and a few others and at least we’re getting some recognition for it 😂

Whoa, has Spirit lost a few parts that I haven't heard about? Any Spirit pilots try to turn off crucial equipment lately? As airline service goes, yeah, Spirit sucks. I don't fly them because they nickel-and-dime you - they'd probably get your credit card # before providing an oxygen mask. And Alaska's food IS way better. (Unless your din-din gets sucked out the door plug that wasn't bolted down, or some wackadoodle pilot decides to turn off something essential, sending your dinner up the aisle towards the tail.) Boeing deserves most of the blame, but Alaska's had some serious problems too.

The captured flight photo got me😂

"Still better than Spirit" Hahaha 🤣 so true...

I like how they got our uniforms, slightly on point haha

Living on the west coast, I’ve taken Alaskan a bunch of times. They’re great. On time, nice planes, and super friendly. They give a warm cookie as the snack. Top 2 right now with United for overall great services and good prices.

And it wasn't so long ago, that an Alaska Airlines flight crashed when the horizontal stabilizer failed due to cut-rate maintenance.

I recently flew Alaska in May and YES I liked it much more than Spirit 😂

It’s still one of the best airlines out there tho
