Alaska Airlines Passenger’s Confidence Shaken by Handwritten Message on Wing

 While aboard  a great  Alaska  airways  flight leaving Burbank, Calif. bound  intended for  Seattle, Wash.,  the  passenger looked out  an  window  in order to   See a  handwritten message scrawled  in  what appeared  as a  damaged  location   of any  plane’s wing.

“We  know   information on  this,”  your  note said. Below  your current  message,  an  arrow pointed  straight down   for you to   a   portion   of your  wing  It  appeared  to be able to   end up being  missing.

The passenger took  the  picture  in addition to  uploaded.  This   for you to   cultural  news  web page  Reddit under  your own   title  Boeing247.

“The maintenance  section   within this  Alaska  airlines  737 sure knows  How you can  instill passenger confidence,” Boeing247 said. “The  method of  communication here shows  an  unique level  associated with  professionalism.”

Commentators  on the  posting weighed  with   on the  airlines’ unorthodox policy,  such as   sole  Delta  airlines  operations employee.

“This  can be   for its  ground  staff  meeting  the  arriving aircraft (parkers),  who   tend to be   required to  inspect  your own  ship  and   survey   any  damage found  in  arrival. Marking apparent damage prevents  reviews   from  being filed  at  each station  on   the  aircraft arrives,”  the  employee said.  “Delta does not do  this   and also   when i  inefficiently file  a good   record  tens  of  times  pertaining to  damage  The item   provides  already been documented,  making  needless redundant emails  and also  work.”

Alaska  airways  spokeswoman Bobbie Egan said  that the  photo showed  an  permanent  validated  trim repair  on the  corner flap  of any   right  wing,  in addition to   which the  plane  am   definitely   risk-free   in order to  fly.

“The small indent  viewable   at the  photo  are  reported multiple times  within  multiple flight crew reports.  an  maintenance technician  published   towards  wing  for you to   agree   for you to  flight crews  the  repair  feel  made, documented  as well as  that this  plane  feel  airworthy,” she said.

Egan said  your current  airline  immediately  removed  the  message  from the  wing  onto  hearing  about  it, as well as  apologized  pertaining to   virtually any  alarm  It may  have caused.
