If you have a YQX at the approach plates for 16L & 16R (see: https://flightaware.com/resources/ai...SEA/procedures) you'll see, that it is allowed under IMC.

Was on SEA-SFO (pmAS) on Monday. Flight was late due to late arriving crew. After we left the gate, it looked like we were heading to RWY 16C (which would be weird since the wind was from the north), but then I realized that there was a line of planes on taxiway T queueing for RWY 34C. Captain said something about being 15th in line, iirc.

First post ever because I was wondering how often this happens being a former Virgin Gold & almost never being such on tarmac or delayed and now doing Alaska for my regular SFO-PDX work commute. My last 12 flights with extended time on the tarmac have been delayed including today on SEA>PDX where it was 40 minute delay and then another 25 on the tarmac for the 20 minute flight. Also had an SFO>ORD delayed, then on tarmac for 40 minutes then we landed in Milwaukee because they claimed first the weather was too bad in Chicago to land and then they were going to run out of full. My partner's UA flight on the same route left at the same time and had no problem landing....

Interesting about SFO-MKE- perhaps AS is testing the waters on a new market?

AS88 landed nice n early. Now we're stationed between N and the road (good view of the construction). A fellow passenger just mentioned "I hope they're not building our parking spot"

"A Delta aircraft just pushed back from the Delta gates and it's nosewheel has become disabled. Waiting for it to clear out before we can move" LOL good Ole Dulta.

As130 sea-pdx
Finally took off after a sizable delay first pushing out of D4, then stuck in the alley (#6) and #19 for takeoff.
But airborne now. Low ceilings in SEA... beware.
Other fun today:
PDX diversions (9/9/19) due to F18 landing [Open again]
