‘What could possibly go wrong?’ Here’s some of the woke shenanigans Alaska Airlines has been up to

January 12, 2024 | | Print Article

It appears that Alaska Airlines and others have been focusing much more on being gay than maintaining their aircraft, resulting in a door-sized hole opening up on one of their planes mid-flight.

A defective door plug on an Alaska Airlines plane that forced an emergency landing is just the latest dangerous incident to occur on an aircraft.

“The door plug for the fuselage of a Boeing 737 Max 9 fell off during a flight’s ascent on Friday, depressurizing the cabin and exposing passengers to open air thousands of feet above ground,” ABC News reported.

Someone’s priorities seem to be mixed up. During the company’s Pride celebration, they went all out with videos celebrating being gay and transgender.

“In case you’re wondering what @Alaskaair has been focusing on, it’s diversity & inclusion, making their planes gay, and having drag queen flight attendants. If you’re on an Alaska plane, just pray their diversity hires don’t screw up and they’re putting this same energy into safety,” Libs of TikTok wrote on X.

As doors blow off planes for Alaska Airlines, the company seems much more obsessed with pronouns and DEI than they are with keeping their customers safe according to Libs of TikTok.

“SCOOP: training at @AlaskaAir has employees pledge to support DEI and be an ally. Says ‘misgendering’ and ‘micro-aggressions’ falls under ‘harassment.’ They also encourage employees to use pronouns whenever possible. Meanwhile doors are falling off Alaska Air planes mid-flight!” Libs of TikTok snarked on the social media platform.

To be fair to Alaska Airlines, they are far from alone. Delta, Spirit Airlines, and others are showing their gay Pride all over the place while emphasizing just how woke and diverse they are.

But if you ask passengers on that Alaska Airlines flight that got abruptly ventilated, they’ll tell you all they cared about was surviving when it happened.

“Passengers who were on board an Alaska Airlines plane say that they thought ‘we were going to die’ after a door plug flew off of the Boeing 737 Max 9 jet at an altitude of 16,000 feet last Friday,” ABC News noted.

“Sieysoar Un and her 12-year-old son Josiah McCaul were sitting in the row right behind the door plug when it flew off the plane, taking Josiah’s phone and stuffed animal with it, the passengers said during an interview on ‘Good Morning America’ Wednesday morning,” the media outlet recounted.

“I reached over and held his hand. We literally thought that we were going to die,” Un said during the interview. “You just hear a big boom. It was silent for like one second, and then you would just feel and hear a lot of air blowing around, freezing cold air.”
