      @@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.

    • @erauprcwa
      @erauprcwa 4 місяці тому +56

      @@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. He was off-duty and showed no signs of being intoxicated when he boarded the flight.

    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.

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)
