Alaska flts diverted due to strong smell

ok, I just read of another instance of an Alaska airbus diverting due to strong smells in the cabin. Within the last 6 months, this must be the 4 or 5th case of an Alaska airbus diverting for this reason. I believe the original cases described the smell as “strong smell of plastic burning”. Am I the only person who has noticed this pattern? Facts come first so I’m not suggesting a common cause, but this pattern caught my eye. Anyone have any insights?

Search “Alaska flight diverted smell” in google news and you’ll see the various events
