Alaska will be adding winglets to nine of the twelve -900s. The first three (303,305,307) will not get winglets.
Jump to postTerminal 2 just had another facelift, new carpeting and such. The security checkpoint was also redone, the only decent restaurant before security was removed.

Jump to postawesome report......especially enjoyed the many pictures.......interesting cameras on the SAS A340!!!!
Jump to postThanks everyone for the kind words about Alaska Airlines. We do try hard to make each customer feel welcome and comfortable.
Jump to postThanks for the info and heads up. I have flown Delta a few times but never international. I agree with you, their flight attendants are just as wonderful as us Alaska flight attendants.

Oh how I have wanted to experience Legend's product before it was gone. Fortunately, Alaska Airlines bought a bunch of Legend's service trolleys. If we peel back the blue tape covering the nameplate, it's Legend's logo on it. I don't understand why we didn't take it off to begin with. Sorry Legend w...
Jump to postI agree. It's just as insane as <acronym title="Continental Airlines (USA)">CO</acronym> and <acronym title="American Airlines (USA)">AA</acronym> transcon 737s with no winglets. At least Alaska is FINALLY gonna outfit the 73Gs with winglets. Gotta spend some money to make more in the long run I bel...
Jump to post132 seats on an A319??? My goodness, that's gonna be a knee banger!!!
Jump to postWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!! GREAT LOOKING AIRCRAFT!!! What an awesome addition to the regional aircraft fleet, hopefully we'll see them here on the west coast sometime.
Jump to postDid Alaska get permission to install winglets on the five leased 73Gs?
Jump to postOur contract pays normal per-diem ($2/hr) during a mechanical at the gate and turns into stranded pay (normal flight pay) after two hours and then every four hours (I know, kinda confusing). If a flight cancels, we are pay-protected. We can either be reassigned "like" flying and payed the greater of...
Jump to postHere at Alaska Airlines we flight attendants bid on a line of time based on seniority. There are three positions per line because there are three flight attendants assigned per aircraft. We bid on the A, B or C position. A being First Class (we don't have a pursor), B does pre-flight and serves main...
Jump to postWOW, first time i've watched Airport Monitor, pretty cool, thanks.

Jump to postGood to hear, maybe it will be a true double-decker to compete with the A380??
Jump to postCheck-in is one hour before departure, get paid $2.00 per-diem for that hour. That includes pre-flight, boarding, galley set-up and helping out customers with their carry-on bags and whatever else they might need to get comfortable. $2.00, you bet that door will be closed on time!!!
Jump to postHmmmmmm......wonder where the aircraft for these new routes are coming from? One guess is that more flights out of Portland will go to <acronym title="Horizon Air (USA)">QX</acronym> to free up these planes. Slowly but surely, Portland will end up being a Horizon city, as we have been told that our ...
Jump to postYes, winglets will be installed on all 73G aircraft, first will be N619AS. Should see it flying with them by December 20th. We are also replacing our 737-200 Combi fleet with 737-400 Combi aircraft starting next year. Four will be combi, one a true freighter. These newer combi aircraft will have 70 ...
Jump to posthmmmmmmmmmm.......Alaska keeps trying to go head to head with the LCCs, but keeping a first Class Cabin without proper revenue from it will keep seat costs high and profits low.
Jump to postAlaska Airlines almost always uses the aft L2 stair of the B737-200QC when it stops in Juneau, Petersburg, Wrangell, Yakutat, Cordova, Anchorage, Kodiak, Dillingham, King Salmon, Nome, Kotzebue, Fairbanks, and Barrow. There are always cargo pallets forward of the passenger compartment (which varies ...
Jump to postAlaska Airlines flies into some of the most wonderful, remote and very small airports in Alaska. My favorite comment from a passenger was in Cordova, <acronym title="Air Asia (Malaysia)">AK</acronym>. "We wait until we hear the plane on final and then make our way to the airport!!!!" Other small air...
Jump to postE-mail me at mauilono@yahoo.com and I'll be happy to give you my airline's safety demo, only said it at least 10000 times!!!!
Jump to postMy airline, Alaska Airlines, have the most interesting bulkheads. They are multicolored, carpeted, and have an "Alaska" eskimo art theme to them. They are actually quite nice and it peeves me that people have the nerve to put their stinky feet all over them. And yes, I kindly ask them to remove them.
Jump to postSo happy to hear that your flight on our airline was a pleasant experience. As a flight attendant for Alaska, we take great pride in providing wonderful service, even though our company continues to make cuts where it comes to the amount of food we serve. Thanks again for flying with us, we do appre...
Jump to postvery entertaining......thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jump to postThe Metro.....grrrrrr......never fails, I gotta pee as soon as I board one!!! (Kinda made me nervous) They didn't have a bathroom on the regional carrier I flew on!!!! Glad they got rid of those mosquitos. The middle seat in the last row was a plus, all the legroom anyone needed!!!
Jump to postWhy havent I seen any freighter version of the A340-200/300/500/600 type aircraft?
Jump to postAll Alaska and Horizon (flights that haven't pre-cleared in Canada) arriving int'l flights go through customs at the South Satellite. Passengers must then catch the train to the C/D concourses to make connecting flights.
Jump to postI'm happy that the Fokker line will be reopened. I used to work for a U.S. regional carrier that flew the F28-1000 and F28-4000 models. They were a beast of an aircraft, but comfortable. I hope we'll see them in the U.S. again.

Jump to postWent through the whole seniority list at my base (approx 350 flight attendants), found that 57% of male flight attendants are gay. Found that the highest proportion of straight male flight attendants are in the 10+yrs seniority range. I know all of these flight attendants individually. In reference ...
