The planes are so old and dirty; no power outlets for business flyers; tiny first class compartment with old and worn seats. Worse yet, I've been subjected to mechanical delays on more than half of these flights in the last two months.

I'm wearing out @alaskaair on twitter with complaining, and have filed "Alaska Listens" reports repeatedly. Anyone have any insight as to when AS plans to put these relics out to pasture?
Well, there are only 13 of them in the fleet. The F cabin is the same size as the 800's now after the 800's Premium Class conversions.
