then take that to the American Airlines forum and stop making sweeping statements about Flight Attendants being liars in a forum about Alaska Airlines and "no service due to turbulence". Alaska hasn't seen work stoppages of any kind by Flight Attendants since the mid 90's - nearly 30 years. Also, since you're quoting me, you forgot to include the sentencejust before where you started your quote. It says "were talking about Alaska here..."

"Sara Nelson, the leader of the AFA-CWA, told The Washington Post that this has been a concern for decades, not just now.
"We've seen airplanes go through turbulence recently and drop 4,000 feet in a split second," she told the news outlet. "The G-forces are not something even the most loving mother or father can guard against and hold their child. It's just physically impossible.":
Scientists at a university in the U.K. are researching this and the article references statements by them but it's a lot of "silly speculation".
It also references specific incidents of severe turbulence over the last several years - and that's just "silly speculation". again...
