I very respectful to these sorts of gate! After all attack dogs may reside on the other side
Too funny Front Ranger
34* currently and we had a low of 33* this morning in Federal Way
Yeah I'm going to Charleston as well. Pretty much the only options are Alaska and Delta, and Delta used to be my airline before we started flying to Montana a lot. Delta did have a couple of options on the A321 when I looked a month or so ago, but that's never a guarantee. Planes have mechanical issues all the time and get shuffled around, so even if I booked on a Delta Airbus flight, a Boeing could be sitting there waiting for me at the gate.
I think my favorite MX issue was a Horizon E175 that had computer issues when it sat overnight in freezing weather (the flight was in December). The solution was to do a full reboot of the aircraft: shut everything down, disconnect the batteries (which is just a button push on an airplane), and unplug from ground power. Kinda weird to be sitting on a dark plan at 5am on the KBLI tarmac. It was so quiet you could hear a mouse fart.
It worked but we were very late and I just made my connecting flight to SNA.
