Good humor.
Their real ones from the old days were better.





Much as I despise the lies of the masks and covid, the safety dance one was kinda cool.
Awesome!
My wife flew from Nashville to SeaTac to Anchorage on Saturday. What a colossal cluster [bleep]. She finally arrived in Anchorage Sunday afternoon. At least AK airlines paid for her hotel room.
I recently went from central NY to Ketchikan. Left NY on tuesday and got to AK on friday because of all the delays.............real fun.
I got to spend an extra week in Texas because all the sea to anc flights keept getting canceled. Lag bolt a cargo net over that "door" and cut the price 50%...I'd fly on it!

I can just see people clipping into a safety cable to walk to the bathroom. Anything to kill the monotonous discomfort of modern air travel.
I guess I've been lucky on Alaska and the 900 Max

From the airline of choice to the airline of last resort...
Still my airline of choice.

I had a 4.5 hour delay leaving Phoenix this morning. Lots of delays.
I got a really good laugh out of the video BTW.

Remember - when one door closes, another one opens. Other than that, it's a pretty good 737.

(I'm old) Years ago Air Travel was something to look forward to, Not dread !!! Now Airlines dick with you & me everyway they can think of !!! For some time my Daughter & Family lived in Portland,OR so we flew cross country several times a year, either thru Chicago (jeez) or the Atlanta (zoo). I've been in Seatac & Anchorage (interesting). My first Commercial flt was on a DC3 (aka C-47) so I,ve seen a lot of changes, not many for the better !! But it is safer, or we've been very lucky !!!!!! Our VERY BIG WEAKNESS NOW is AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL. Something awful is going to happen on a runway & our nearly frozen FEDERAL GOV. will ring their hands for month's over what to do. Of course the CLEAR answer is to reduce the number of flights until enough Air Traffic Controllers can be hired & trained up !!!!!

No shortage of ATC employees... just a severe lack of quality. Chalk that up to DEI...
There is a shortage from everything I hear, AND there's more DEI. With stuff like CDTI ATC keeps increasing our workload to ease theirs.
