And they need those parts back to figure this out.I honestly feel that that area was meant to be made for a door only, not just a window with the bottom panel being plugged in this plane. Alaska wanted it as a window option only. I think the plug did not stabilize that area well enough for extreme pressure. JMO

The last few times I’ve flown, I’ve been gobsmacked by how many folks simply disregard this instruction, as evidenced by notification noises/ringtones from incoming calls, etc. Thus, the “Find My iPhone” locator might still work for some of the folks whose phones were sucked outside the cabin, so long as they had the feature enabled prior to the flight and were able to log into their Apple account from another device once they landed.I wonder if Apple could be of any help in locating the missing phones.
Even though they would have been on airplane mode.

having a Stockton Rush moment here....I honestly feel that that area was meant to be made for a door only, not just a window with the bottom panel being plugged in this plane.

another reason to keep your seat belt secured and the overhead compartments closed....I may be forced to re-consider my need for window seating in the future.
Yeah, it may have been trash, but it kept all it's windows in flight.
This was a new plane with only a few flying hours.
What's really scary for me, is that I just sent my daughter back to Portland on Alaska a week ago after sending her home on it for Christmas. Think we'll stick to SouthWest Airlines for now.Last time I flew Alaska was to Sacramento back in August, and the plane was old and trash. They used to be the best domestic carrier in the US...30 years ago lol
I'm flying Delta from now on.
I wish that Websleuths had the hug emoji for this one. Thank you. We've now lost our confidence in Alaska Airlines, which was much nicer than Southwest. But Southwest is also usually cheaper anyways and has much better flight availability. (Alaska is also the airline whose off-duty pilot was on mushrooms and tried to crash another plane recently).I was very upset in the morning, but now I am thinking, ultimately, it landed safely and what a humongous thank you to the captain, the first officer and the crew we should say. Although of course, the passengers will have to deal now with stress and nightmares, they are alive. Good luck to everyone!
