From the article: Pilots tell their union they saw a dramatic increase in this kind of graffiti last May, after Alaska fired its ramp workers and hired a cheaper outside contractor, Menzies Aviation, to load the bags on planes at Sea-Tac.
That explains most of it.

From what I hear, these are the same yahoos that hit an airplane with a baggage cart, and didn't tell anyone. The plane had a rapid decompression at flight levels from what I remember. Looks like Alaska has fully joined the race to the bottom!

The Alaska Airlines baggage handlers had it pretty good; good pay, health ins, time off, flex schedule. If only the Horizon pilots had it so good.
