3 Links I Love: Breeze Shifts Inflight Plan, Alaska’s Fleet, Another New Airline

This Week’s Featured Link

Breeze eases plan to rely on students as flight attendants – The Associated Press
It never seemed like a great plan, and now Breeze has learned that relying on college kids as interns to be your entire flight attendant complement isn’t going to cut it. Oh, but it’s not because the airline has realized it’s a bad idea. It’s just because it hasn’t been able to get enough sign-ups. Can’t wait to see how this works out.

Chart of the Week

This is the Alaska Airlines fleet count over a 10 year period by type. Alaska announced earlier this week it would exercise options to add 737 MAX 9 and Embraer 175 aircraft to its stable. As you can see, the NG remains the king of the castle, but the MAXes are climbing quickly. Meanwhile, the Airbuses are almost gone, dropping to only the 10 A321s by 2023.

Two for the Road

Dash Air Shuttle to serve Port Angeles – Dash Air Shuttle News
Add this to the list of airlines trying to start up. I know nothing about it, but the Facebook page says the airline is looking at a “Founders” membership for travelers where you prepay for a fixed number of flights. That sounds like an airline that needs more funding.

‘Amazing’: Pilots, passenger uninjured after midair crash – The Associated Press
Holy crap. Just click through and look at what happened to that flying pencil Metroliner. That thing is an absolute tank to take that kind of beating and still land safely.
