Not knowing which airline they work for, he thought he'd start some small talk and find out by naming off airline slogans. He asked one of them, "Do you love to fly and it shows?" They all looked puzzled and ignored him. So he said, "Do you want me to stop searching and start traveling?" Again, they ignored him. He then asked "Well, who do you work for?" One of the ladies cut him off, "What the fuck do you want?" He then smiled, saying, "Ohhh, ok, should have known, you're with Alaska Airlines." All of you should just be happy that you're not in bush Alaska and HAVE to fly with them Reminds me of a joke I heard; a guy walks up to a few good looking flight attendants at an airport bar.

I have had "MVP Gold" status on Alaska Airlines for the past 6 years - meaning I fly at least 50,000 miles a year on Alaska. Take it from me - the service is terrible; and I tell all my friends - do not fly Alaska if at all possible. This airline is on a downward spiral and with current management will not recover. My prediction is that, at best, it will end up being a low-cost carrier for vacationers heading to Hawaii and Mexico. I'm hoping that Virgin America (which is doing well in the former Alaska stronghold of SFO) will replace Alaska as the dominant "alternative" carrier on the west coast.

But hurray for your new math, where three allowed pieces add up to five. Some of you seem to be missing the point of that lovely experience. My professional gear has ALWAYS gone on board with me. It not only hasn't been a problem in the past, but in three of the four legs of that Alaska trip it wasn't an issue. The issue was the beyatch Alaska agent at the Burbank counter. She not only didn't know her own airline's rules (or refused to acknowledge them), she intentionally created a hassle where there wasn't one. Further, I'm not one of those overhead jammers. I hate those people. The combined size of my camera bag AND the small box of glassware was <em>smaller than the average carry-on bag!</em> While my guitar will fit in the overhead, it usually goes in the small closet between the First and Cabin sections. Once again, this was a case of a rude, intractable Alaska agent proving what a POS she could be. Great "customer service." “So far” would be the critical phrase, eh?

Stop trying to take up all of the overhead storage space with your 5 carry-on items. I have had good experiences so far with Alaska Airlines.

Have NEVER had a problem with the airline, they are always friendly and accommodating. I do object to the other piggy passengers who arrive with way too many bags and then proceed to jam their extra oversize bags above, crushing and rearranging everyone else's stuff. So get a clue, guy, mail your "oh-so-delicate" china and glassware ahead of time. And stop trying to push the envelope for yourself. I fly Alaska Airlines several times a year.
