News and notes from around the interweb:
- Alaska Airlines is trolling social media to find flight attendants violating uniform guidelines – union warns against yoga pants.
Alaska Airlines is increasingly using popular social media sites like Instagram and TikTok to find flight attendants breaking strict uniform rules and has recently spotted crew members wearing yoga pants while on duty.
In a recent memo to thousands of flight attendants at the Seattle-based carrier, the official flight attendant union said it “highly discouraged” its members from wearing yoga pants rather than their standard uniform designed by Luly Yang.
Explaining why expensive Lululemo or Alo athleisure wear wasn’t a reasonable replacement for official uniform garments, the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA) explained: “You will be out the money and may also face progressive disciplinary action during uniform checks.”
- Honolulu’s Airport Flawed Layout Nearly Caused Airline Disaster Two year old incident comes to light.
However, as the aircraft exited onto the taxiway (K), the captain misjudged the stopping distance. The Boeing 777 crossed the required hold-short line for 4L, entering an active intersection as a Kamaka Air Cessna 208B was landing on runway 4L. ...The captain later described being startled at how quickly they reached the intersection. By the time the error was realized, the aircraft had already gone too far.

This guy brought an air mattress to the airport
byu/gotrich inmildlyinterestingIn response to the other guy sleeping at the airport – this is how it’s done!
byu/vanillax2018 inmildlyinteresting - This is not reasonable at this price point, for this product, and on this route. Seems like an outlier though. And, also, learn to eat real food.

- 20% bonus on transfers from Chase to British Airways, Ibera and Aer Lingus through March 31. That’s better than not a bonus, of course.
- Airline systems are old. This is actually an Ethiopian Airlines ticket, it appears. Seems even worse that their database would be out of data on this point, actually.

Yay! Punish the workers! How efficient! I’m so glad that we’re ‘dividing’ and ‘conquering’ each other over freakin’ NOTHING so that the oligarchs can steal more from all of us. Well done, everyone! Please, go fight the ‘culture war’–(ignore the class war)–Brilliant!!
United MP also calls Kinshasa Libreville…
Sorry Leopoldville…not sure it’s better
What was the item that says “This is not reasonable at this price point, for this product, and on this route. Seems like an outlier though. And, also, learn to eat real food” about?
All I see below it is a symbol that looks like a fancy “at” sign and the words “Thread not available”.
@DRC based — Good correction; it is a fascinating topic (the geography, all the name changes over the years, following the various independences). I was about to say, I’m pretty sure Libreville is capital of the nearby country of Gabon. I was expecting you to refer to DRC as ‘Zaire.’ Or to refer to Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, as its former name, Salisbury, South Rhodesia. Then there is Northern Rhodesia, now called Zambia. West South Africa, now called Namibia. Bechuanaland, now Botswana. Tanganyika and Zanzibar, now called Tanzania. And also, Kinshasa, not to be confused with nearby Brazzaville, the city on the other side of the Congo River in the Republic of Congo, a different country, as I am sure you already knew all of this, if you actually are DRC-based. And elsewhere, like Burma, now Myanmar; Bombay, now Mumbai. I find it interesting how some locals prefer and still use the old names. It is something we learn about from our travels.
They’re there for our safety. If they choose to ignore such basic rules I have no faith they would be reliable in an emergency. If they apologize retrain them. If they are combative/defensive fire them.
