Seems very odd - and the AS website confirms that there are also passengers onboard. I'm sure they will make it to Seattle safely, but what gives? Perhaps it was already inspected? That would imply they have found out the issue and fixed it already? Are they/ FAA/ NTSB accountable to explain the pu...
