Alaska Air strikes again

[Surgeon1]

It is long past over do that all U.S. airlines become state controlled. I can’t believe I’m saying that but all of them have betrayed us, even after we bailed them out after that Covid nonsense. All the major foreign airlines are far superior to all U.S. airlines. Heck, even the commuter Airlink is superior. Write Trump, write your useless congressional representatives and demand the airlines become state controlled. We deserve the best, not 3rd string.

Only a diehard liberal or communist could think that could be helpful. We have way too much government failure and involvement in our transportation system now! Our FAA and air traffic control system is from the 50’s and in 70yrs the only real attempt to upgrade was done by the worst moron To do anything in our government (Pete Buttigieg) besides Biden
And after billions they spent to upgrade it we still us a 70yo system with 8x the traffics and with the same number of controllers we had in the late 60’s.
Obviously your worldly experience with international air travel is very limited. With only 2rare exceptions most “government run” airlines are horrible. I’ve been on every continent in the world that has scheduled airlines, many multiple times! And virtually all that have government ran airlines operate with less efficiency than our post office.
I do agree that Alaska Airlines has decreased in quality. Iris a real shame.
