FULL ATC audio I compiled and uploaded to TikTok this morning shows how busy the Alaska 1282 crew was. Amazing job by both pilots quickly working through the situation, getting down to 10,000, and quickly getting back to PDX.

An absolute miracle 26A was not occupied. Latest report is 174 passengers, 6 crew. Alaska configures the Boeing 737-9 MAX with 178 seats across a 2-class cabin. Airlines like LionAir Indonesia configure the same aircraft with 221 seats in all economy requiring use of that exit.

(1/2) FedEx’s utilization of the Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS)—an incorporation of FLIR technology into the head-up display (HUD)—on their Boeing 767s likely played a role in preventing the near-miss incident during the low-visibility conditions in Austin Saturday morning.

In a few years, the USAF will take delivery of 8-11 ex-Korean Air Boeing 747-8Is to replace their aging fleet of 4-Boeing E-4Bs, which are based off the ancient Boeing 747-200 airframe.

(2/2) It is likely the FedEx pilots had visual contact with the Southwest Boeing 737 through their EFVS during the final approach. This is what would’ve led to the FedEx pilots calling for the Southwest jet to abort the takeoff.

This is what the seat would look like on the inside to any passenger. It would appear to be a normal window seat since it is an inactive exit door that cannot be opened manually/without modifications.

This is what the door would look like unplugged/usable, unlike the Alaska Airlines jet tonight which had a plugged/inoperable door. Doors like pictures below are used on higher density configurations like LionAir Indonesia with 221 seats vs Alaska’s 178.

The CEO
@AlaskaAir
, Ben Minicucci, has yet again made an incredible response in the wake of crisis, this time involving a Boeing 737-9 MAX door plug failure a few weeks ago. However, many passengers, especially those onboard the incident flight (Alaska 1282) have felt abandoned.
Tonight on Nightly News, Alaska Airlines' CEO tells
@tomcostellonbc
he’s “angry” at Boeing about the door plug that blew out of a recent flight. And he says inspections have since found “some loose bolts on many of our MAX 9’s”.
