Ms Pina? I think the probability is pretty low that she'd tell a reporter on the record; "Yeah, I had another episode in which I drank till I passed out and got taken off a flight, and now I'm being fired". Alaska Airlines? Not going to get anything more than "We don't publicly discuss internal personnel issues".
Maybe after the election the media may consider it, but not a chance before. The #metoo political movement is very important to them, truth be damned. Although I think it is backfiring, since most implicated were on the left.
