Also, full QX employees have status below tertiary family of AS employees on standby and it is very annoying ngl.

Fun weekend in Chicago! Was the original plan NYC? Yes. Did I have to buy confirmed to not get stuck in ANC? Yes. Did I have to buy confirmed to get back to SEA for work after twenty people bought last minute? Also yes. Worth it!

N624QX being ferried SEA-ONT-OKC for repairs, a fun low level unpressurized journey.

Amazing crew on this flight, great to talk to them. Also got some breathtaking views of Denali.

The plane and I, 737-700

Quick tour of SCC station and back on board to ANC. Super cool little place, very cold! They had a spot in the hangar for the medevac plane but it wasn't here unfortunately.

Headed off on an Alaskan avgeek adventure for the weekend. First off an ANC-SCC Deadhorse turn on AS55. Then off to Adak for the afternoon!

We can always depend on Sam to deliver solid avgeek content

Looking like things are clearing up but I think all the diversions will keep the operation catching up until at least the morning. The BOS-SEA is just now deplaning in SLC, and I expect other flights like that will run into crew timeouts.

Fortunately no, but several coworkers are diverted coming back to SEA

ANC-HNL is boarding rn which seems like a good sign

I noticed ai summaries in my news feed and haven't found a way to turn them off yet

You would be correct

Alaska's whole online experience is pretty buggy in my experience and I don't think it's going to get better until well after SOC is completed due to all the integration pains with HA.

This week we're helping out with some restoration at Evergreen Air and Space, it's fun work but pretty dirty and manual!

Lol you're literally paying for the food, how is that stealing

I get that this has to go somewhere and this street is space constrained but this reader board is fully blocking a sidewalk and bike lane, and it looks like it could be there for a full year? There has to be a better solution.

Not quite the same flight but close!

Was wondering where this UA Dreamliner was flying into Salt Lake from. Turns out it's a diversion from LHR-DEN which makes a lot more sense. Wouldn't want to be on there rn.

Went up the tram at Snowbird today and when we got back down this caught my eye in the exhibit on the first owner.

New planes! N669QX and N668QX are the 47th E175s to enter the Horizon Fleet.

If you want people take you seriously maybe look outside of L3Harris and RTX? I could wake up tomorrow to Ortberg being replaced by the current CEO of Palantir and I'd only be surprised they went for someone under the age of 60.

In another shake-up, Boeing names new chief financial officer In another change to its executive ranks, Boeing has hired a new chief financial officer to lead strategy, business planning and global real estate, the company said Monday.

Boeing yet again screams "look! We're changing" while installing another financial background executive who the current leadership has worked with for twenty years. Sure this is the CFO so financial leadership is necessary but it's an obvious pattern already. www.seattletimes.com/business/boe...

That's good to hear!

I just happened to be standing on Pennsylvania avenue when this was announced. They cleared the street veryyyyy quickly.

Flew standby for real for the first time last night and got a full dose I think. I was absolutely last on, post door close, for my PDX-SFO and then I got a full exit row for my SFO-IAD courtesy of @nonrevgod and the wonderful GA. Time to go see a Panda!

One of the funniest things Ive learned about the AS operation the last few weeks is that they're towing the Tokyo A330 from S to N gates every day so that it can depart from the Alaska terminal and be seen from the lounge. It makes sense but still

I'm working in maintenance operations
