I probably fly at least fifty times a year unfortunately. I quit flying Alaska air when able due to their rude staff. As stated, they create problems when there is not a problem. The flight attendants are like aggressive cops looking for a confrontation. This fellow could have had a drink or two but was then bullied by a flight attendant and was not aware enough to realize he was getting set up. Instead of defusing situations airports escalate situations. They are like attack dogs. Overzealous work!
I avoid Alaska airlines whenever possible and airports in general as well.
