    Mrs. PC and I faced "triple jeopardy" a couple weeks ago returning from Hawaii. Our scheduled return flight aboard Alaska Airlines was cancelled the day before departure. We had the option of spending another ten hours at the small Maui airport, then catching a plane to Seattle (arriving at 6am), then transferring to another plane four hours later for the final 1,200 mile flight to San Diego.

    Instead, we opted to fly nonstop on our original schedule to San Diego with Southwest Airlines instead of Alaska.

    The "triple jeopardy:"

    1. The flight was on Southwest, which has recently been grounded by numerous maintenance failures.
    2. The Captain of our plane was a woman.
    3. The plane was a 737 MAX 8.

    We had a perfect flight, early arrival, and an 'excellent' landing in San Diego by our pilot.

    How disgracefully sexist! Hang your head in shame.
    Women make excellent pilots.
    There are no roundabouts & no parallel parking for them to worry about afterall.
