Well they probably found another takeoff alternate.

Then they took off, into the sky, with all the other airplanes.

In order to practice more Pac-NW ops, which they clearly are horrible at, they're going to fly seven 737s a day into SEA from LAX, all summer long!

That'll get those 737s and it's crews ready for next winter's fog!



You still won't post what day this was, because you know they were in the air minutes later and probably made A14 at their destinations.

You know we haven't had a Tool of the Day here in a while, thanks for stepping up Mike!

Seems you've pioneered that too...

You know what would be funny? If someone from the FAA were reading this, then they checked on YOUR flight, and found out YOU took off without a legal T/O alternate!

Pointed out by... Our Tool of the Day!

I am a member of one of the airlines that is part of this wine session... but am embarrassed to even read this discussion as it builds and to consider you members of the same profession.

You can keep the kudos. We'll keep building a large SEA hub.

You keep doing that. And we'll just make an 90 yard interception and end your drive. That's the way we roll here in Seattle. GO HAWKS

Right. We will be defeated with your takeoff alternate awesomeness. Our days in SEA are clearly numbered. Meanwhile we will keep building a huge SEA hub.

Oh and we'll be sure to tell the HAWKS to GO. We see them all the time, as we are the official airline of the Seattle Seahawks and fly them all the time to and from our hub in SEA.

Don't forget the Sounders. Delta does all the football in SEA.

I hope the passengers on those two 737-800s enjoyed the parade of Alaska aircraft taking off while they sat waiting for the weather to improve (or until management got their S together)
Way to build a hub Delta!
Got the thanks but no thanks from the Delta interview huh? I'm sure it stings.

You apparently have never been in ATL on a lovely dead calm spring morning.....
