The possible pressurization issues that we've had recently do represent an above-average number for this time period, based on historical averages.
Minor problem or not, we take every incident very seriously. We address them all with proactive steps.
Our initial investigations of each incident has found different root causes for each one, which would not indicate a systemic issue.
We're not able to respond to something we haven't yet received.
We are very happy to have free snacks on our flights.
Each has been due to a different root cause, which would suggest this is not a systemic issue.
There's just been an incredible response from passengers and staff.
As a precaution, we're checking into why the oxygen masks deployed, and we're also trying to determine whether there was a problem with the cabin pressure.
Alaska Airlines takes this extremely seriously, and we are aggressively investigating this situation to understand the root cause and to take additional action to prevent this from reoccurring.
There was an indication that the cabin may have been pressurizing at a slower rate than expected.
Not only is this a savings, and a safety benefit, Alaska's dedication to this project has had an influence on the FAA.
