Those persons that were working on this flight are of impeccable character and don't deserve your comments.

AS Flyer, you have to admit that to have de-ice fumes or fluid enter the cabin to the extent it did, someone at Alaska Airlines screwed up.
Many airplanes were de-iced that day, and yet,this is the only one that had a problem that required on site medical assistance. Either a door was left open, the air system not turned off, or the fluid was sprayed in an inappropiate place. We will find out when the FAA completes their investigation.
Still, this should not happen, but it did because of someone at Alaska DID screw up and did not follow appropiate procedures.
