    From what I understand, flight attendants as well. They don’t get paid until the door closes and stop getting paid when it opens.

      I wonder if Alaska made an attempt to claim the attendants on flight 1282 stopped working once the plug door blew and were therefore ineligible for pay lmao

      On the one hand, that seems so stupid to even conceive of that it’s clearly a joke. On the other hand, you know some penny pincher MBA in Alaska’s corporate office thought about it seriously for at least a moment or two.

        Coincidentally, I just watched the John Oliver segment on Boeing recently, and after that, I honestly would not be surprised.

        At Alaska Airlines? There was absolutely a guy thinking about that, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was the CEO. The current CEO was the CFO who failed to properly fund maintenance costs and killed over a hundred passengers.
