While tucking 3yo in to bed:

3yo: “Are you going to work tonight?”

Me: “No, I am home tonight.”

3yo: “Maybe you could go work tonight?”

Me: “Why do you think I should do that?”

3yo: “Then I can come sleep in your bed. If you’re there it’s too many bodies. Go work now!”

😭

@adndotcom Alaska 828 (HNL to ANC) had to turn back this evening due to air leak around a door. It was a 737-9MAX. Flight was cancelled entirely as it was not felt safe to take the plane over the Pacific.

@AlaskaAir @BoeingAirplanes Will try again with the same plane tomorrow?

[J. Aaron Barnes @jaaronb_md]

Just as the third kiddo fell asleep for our redeye home, @AlaskaAir flight 828 (a @BoeingAirplanes 737-9MAX) had to turn back because of an air leak around a door. At some point you have to wonder if it is an Alaska problem or a Boeing problem… or both.

THREAD: “What’s the difference between this and Watergate?” Donald Trump raged in a statement Monday night after FBI agents.

Well, as a Watergate and FBI historian, four things stand out to me:

@GovDunleavy Except Chris Wray (FBI Dir.) is a Trump appointee…

0/2 in the last year. Not the airline I remember @AlaskaAir

[J. Aaron Barnes @jaaronb_md]

@AlaskaAir my family and I are flying to Alaska and flight 1431 was delayed and we won’t make our flight (253) to Anchorage.

[J. Aaron Barnes @jaaronb_md]

And we are flying with 3 kids…. 6yo, 3yo, and 3mo… so no matter what happens it is messy. But no one seems to have an answer as to how we are getting to Anchorage @AlaskaAir
