I'm a lifelong Alaska resident, and I love Alaska Airlines. They have great customer service, great aircraft, great maintenance crews, and much more. I should also point out that there's 3 milk-run routes. Flight 64 is Anchorage-Juneau-Petersburg-Wrangell-Ketchikan-Seattle, flight 62 is Anchorage-Juneau-Sitka-Ketchikan-Seattle, and flight 66 is Anchorage-Cordova-Yakutat-Juneau-Seattle. All the cities are served daily, but it's 3 separate flights.

Proud to work as Alaska mechanic! Alaska the best airlines to work treated with respect.

[@brendasays2324]

Omg I love how that mechanic is explaining everything so well and informative.

[@safetydoge]

Man I wish we still had this milk run route, now it's just multiple milk runs they reduce stops via AS 61, 62, 64, 65, 67 for the South east portion. Still a fun route if you're going in the southeast

[@gatronflightsim]

And United is just same route but in Pacific schedule route aka US island hopped

[@stickynorth]

As a Canadian, I can relate!

[@ARWINGx1]

My dad's a former/retired airliner mechanic and evidently, he's part of the deicing crew as well. because he did mention that one thing that annoys him about the process is that if the runway have to be plowed as well, and if either of the 2 "teams" are late, or have done their part too soon, then both would have to start over.

[@pwoods2686able]

Yeah it is but it is also a very rewarding job knowing that you did your job well and everyone made it where they needed to go because of you.

[@sammybiwott8672]

[@ahmadhayat7544]

It’s Alaska Airlines not Alaskan. Airline code AS. Based SEA.

Pls link for full series

[@TheArtesianWells]

Could we at least edit the title of the video? It’s Alaska Airlines, not Alaskan….

[@rono4723]

The Alaska milk run, is what nightmares are made of. ✈😨⚰

[@louiem5654]

It’s Alaska, not Alaskan Airlines

[@Ryenskiez]

now i know

[@saisashidhar4033]

What if planes had a mechanism of de-icing similar to a roadside carwash?. It might save some time right?

[@anzymecom]

They can do that in the air. The leading edge is inflatable, breaking the ice built up during flight.

[@JUSTICEshsyedZaC]

Imagine that you get a plane then it crashes 😬

[@aileronhelicopters]

It happened to me once, thankfully I *woke up*

[@rickyism1576]

Next time your aircraft gets deiced know it's probably someone getting paid Mcdonald wages or less spraying you. Safety first 😁

[@brandonyoung6726]

Alaska Airlines* Not Alaskan

[@CanadianBullFrog]

Too bad the planes couldn't be stored in a heated hanger.

[@descend_aviation]

Hangers are only used for aircraft maintenance

[@CanadianBullFrog]

@Jere Aviation yes but with the amount of money spent on de-icing having heated hangers for planes would pay off in the long run for this airport.

Alaska 261 Alaska 261 Alaska 261 Alaska 261 Alaska 261 Alaska 261 Alaska still not doing the most basic of minimal maintenance like….. greasing a damn jack screw? I really hope this airline turned their culture around…. But whenever I see a Clip like this… all I can think is propaganda “look! We deice our planes!!! And it’s very expensive so feel bad for us!”
