Episode Details

Alaska Airlines flight attendants are sounding the alarm over understaffing on new long-haul international routes, filing a formal grievance that accuses the airline of violating union contracts after acquiring Hawaiian Airlines staff. As Alaska expands its global reach with new flights to Paris and Athens, crew members say they’re stretched too thin on Boeing 787s flying to Seoul, Rome, and London — leading to delays in service and disrupted passenger comfort. The union demands either more staff or scaled-back service, while Alaska vows to support crews and uphold quality travel — even as it adds seven new international routes since December and plans five more by 2030.
