Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci told NBC he was "mad" and "angry" about the Flight 1282 blowout.
AdvertisementAlaska Airlines' CEO expressed his frustration with Boeing during an interview with NBC News — the second airline boss to do so on Tuesday.
"It makes me angry," Ben Minicucci told NBC.
Minicucci told NBC: "We had a guardian angel, honestly," because the 178-capacity plane had seven unoccupied seats — which happened to include those next to the gaping hole.
"It makes you mad that we're finding issues like that on brand-new airplanes," Minicucci told NBC.
