On my last flight between Anchorage and Seattle they actually had a few passengers standing in the aisles!!! Amazing. That's how much demand there is for airline tickets! The folks that were standing received 25% off and food vouchers. It was funny to watch them during takeoff and landing, but they did alright. Also they had easier access to the bathrooms than those of us in the seats.Don't tell the FAA.In terms of name brand ALK is the best outside of Southwest Airlines. Management is a bunch of losers but should be given credit for not going bankrupt. Shareholders have not fared well since they kicked Mark Air out of Alaska over 10 years ago. Even with a Monopoly in the Pacific NW they have performed worse than a savings account in that time span.Just looking for a minor correction here.
