Makes the 12 hours on a crowded MAC Flight 747 seem nearly bearable, or the C-141 flight on web seating from McGuire to Dhahran Saudi Arabia

Why should Alaska Airlines (& others) dump its primary aircraft & vast inventory of spare parts just to please you & others? The Airbus aircraft were the unwanted stepchildren/red headed cousin in the Alaska fleet & were probably were beginning to show their age. Airlines are in the business to make money & cut costs, not please the whims & desires of individual people. If they can get rid of oddball, inherited aircraft that doesn’t fit their business plan; then so be it. Maybe they can be pawned off to Delta. Why don’t you contact Delta?

South African Airways Flight 295 incident in November 1987 pretty much did in Combi’s, especially after the FAA required new on board fire suppression equipment. Last one sold was 2002. I ‘get it’ that some places like the Arctic area it’s the only way to carry passengers & cargo. From Wiki: “...the Federal Aviation Administration introduced new regulations in 1993 specifying that manual fire fighting must not be the primary means of fire suppression in the cargo compartment of the main deck. Complying with these new standards required weight increases, which made the 747 Combi no longer viable. Nevertheless, the Combi remained in the 747 product line up until 2002, when the last 747-400 Combi was delivered to KLM.“

The way the state of Washington & city of Seattle are in now, can’t say that I blame Boeing & other businesses for wanting to leave ASAP. My understanding the WA Governor is pro green, anti business & isn’t willing to compromise. Let them wither away along w/the rest of the Left Coast.
