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.

    I thought the same way as you until recently.

    A lot of times when we fly, we have to rent a car anyway. Once that’s factored in, driving often winds up being cheaper.

    Did a ten hour drive recently. Gas for the whole trip wound up at about $300, including driving around up there. Which is close to what we paid for a car last time we had to rent, plus the gas for the rental.
