Faye said she had no intention of speaking to the media until she saw the initial statements from Alaska in the aftermath of the accident, which emphasized that there were only minor injuries and to her seemed to diminish the severity of what had happened.

And she became angrier when she read accounts of how pilots had reported intermittent depressurization warnings for the airplane in the days before Friday’s flight.

      Not sure why this is being downvoted.

      Alaskan Airlines had another issue in 2000 where they purposefully ignored engineers’ warnings on maintenance leading to a plane crash that killed everyone on board.

      Businesses view safety as a cost-benefit analysis. If it’s cheaper to kill people than it is to make products safe, then that’s what they’re going to do.

        1. It’s a hashtag on Lemmy.
        2. Though a completely true statement, it’s getting a little boring around here where everyone just shows up, says the catch phrase, and waits for upvotes.
