Alaska Airlines is leaning towards an all-Boeing 737 fleet after the coronavirus
Alaska Airlines entered the coronavirus pandemic at a major fleet crossroads: Airbus or Boeing? A decision the crisis may have made for the carrie (thepointsguy.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Discovered by you maybe, but the FAA was well aware. It's ok to sort of write your own procedures if the FAA approves them.
Why would having the same plane for the entire inventory have things go south? Standardized repair procedures are there for only one type of aircraft, not two or three. The same goes for the tools required for those maintenance procedures. One set for one type instead of two or three again.
One problem if they went all Airbus is their 737-700 freighters that they use in Alaska. So if they went the all Airbus route they would still have the 737 freighters left in the fleet.
didn't alaska airlines have an inkind trade with the seahawks? the seahawks were spokes holes in commercials and they got a sweet deal on transporting the team.
that transport was a 787 with a tricked out paint job of a seahawk, based out of seattle of course.
what happened to the 787?

It was a 727-200
I see this going south, but the good thing is that it's not likely to fail right away. Wait until they get all sure of their ability to cut those corners again, and they will have another crash. It's prologue. Look at the decisions that led to the deliberate substitution of inadequate grease that cause the jack screw to fail. You can't drive prices low beyond the point where you can;t afford the damn grease to do the job right.
Some thing has to give, and it's usually passenger and crew safety.
