Alaska Airlines, check yourself b'fo you wreck yourself.

I fly Alaska Airlines mainly because they have direct flights to Tucson and we're with their frequent flier program. For those of you who have long forgotten what a direct flight is, let me remind you: Imagine flying from a place like, oh, Seattle and heading for Tucson and being on a plane for about two hours. So it's hard to give up Alaska. But damn if they aren't having a whole passle of trouble, lately.
