I just read an article with quite a different slant on this. Of course it was basically reciting an Alaskan Air statement with no mention of the FAA. It's supposedly a "technical glitch" that will have them back and flying in no time. Oh no, not ordered at all.

Somebody assure me that unlike United, Alaska Air's CEO isn't a guy who likes to wear dresses.
