Phillbo 11 #6 August 8, 2012 You'd think the maintenance technician would have written it on the bottom of the flap where the pilot would see it and not the passengers . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it wasn't a pressurized marker and it didn't write upside down.

davjohns 1 #10 August 9, 2012 I've only flown Alaska Air one time. Best ever!I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,396 #12 August 10, 2012 >If you have only flown them once than you don't really have a good database of how they are. Flown them ~40 times in the past 10 years or so and they're consistently one of the best in my experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
