Better image here of the construction. Not sure the "master" plan however- saw lots of ads in the airport promoting it.

Living in interesting times. End of the old Alaska (which frankly had been dying by a thousand cuts) but will they step up to be an international airline? I'll believe it when they get rid of the hipster furniture in the lounge and put in showers and agents that can do rebookings.

I wonder whether crew are calling in sick from fear of the coronavirus. Else if AS had airframes available they ought to have been able to deadhead reserves from SEA or SFO - flights from both cities arrived for the AS3 departure and they had to know if short on crew rest. Now they have a stranded A321 in DCA.

Maybe they couldn't find a volunteer or just don't have a lot of reserves standing by to be called out. I had a BOS-SFO evening flight a few weeks ago that was pushed back 5 hours due to a crew issue. Once on board, we were told that if a certain flight attendant hadn't come in they would have had to cancel the flight and we should be grateful to her that we didn't have a forced overnight at BOS.

Did anyone read Gary Lefts post about American Air not supplying the FA's with protective gloves ? And this is the airline that Alaska executives chose to partner with this among all the countless reasons why AA is so bad with Parker leading it. ... were the executives thinking?

Spotted earlier this week in the B gates of SEA:
Seems they need some stronger adhesive tape!

I just wanted to say to everyone I hope to "see" all of you on the "other side" of this mess. And for heavens sake stay off the damn planes!
