[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 482503, member: 12508"] Alaska Flight 261 crashed due to insufficient jackscrew lubrication, which was largely the fault of Alaska's extended service intervals, which ignored the manufacturer's (MD Douglas) recommendations. In other words, Alaska tried to cheap-out on maintenance procedures by lengthening the lubrication timeframe for the jackscrew. This would be the fault of the airline, and not the mechanics. Everyone on that plane died because Alaska tried to save some money. This is one reason why I no longer fly Alaska Airlines. Since this incident, they've contracted-out all of their ground services to a third party provider. Result? Numerous aircraft strikes and a December incident where ground workers pumped de-icer into the cabin of a jet in Seattle. This is what happens when airlines go the cheap route instead of doing it by the book with qualified workers. Don't fly Alaska if you can help it. They [I]used[/I] to be a quality airline. That's no longer the case. [/QUOTE]
