Alaska Airlines: 16 2 Days Without Incident

You may recall that last month Alaska Airlines experienced some turbulence, angering passengers by cutting off their Air Supply (What? Oh) air supply when five different jets had pressurization issues.

Leadership, the Seattle Times reported, was just going to ride it out, an option they extended to larger-lunged passengers in no particular hurry as well. Reassuringly,

[Alaska Airlines Chairman Bill] Ayer also said Alaska's investigation into last month's spate of five pressurization-system problems within 10 days has found no connections among the events, calling them a "coincidence."
