## Resource

Alaska Airlines is facing a proposed $165,000 fine from the FAA after allegedly allowing intoxicated passengers onto eleven flights over the past year—despite federal rules prohibiting it. The airline claims it’s already revamped its procedures in response to the FAA’s audit and has 30 days to formally reply. This is still a proposed penalty, and the outcome remains uncertain.
