Alaska Airways has been having a tricky time as of late. Again in October of 2023, an off-duty Alaska pilot tried to close off a aircraft’s engines mid-flight whereas he was on mushrooms, and earlier this month, a door plug ripped from the fuselage of a Boeing 737-Max 9 whereas the aircraft was 16,000 ft within the air. These points, to most individuals, could be checked out as a damaging, however Saturday Evening Reside is providing a special perspective — a much more optimistic one.
You see, SNL has determined to take the perspective that every one of those fairly unlucky incidents occurring on Alaska flights are actually simply nice tales you may inform your family and friends when you end your emergency touchdown. It’s not such as you died!

“Right here at Alaska, security is our primary concern,” Jacob Elordi, enjoying an Alaska worker says. That’s harmless sufficient, nevertheless it’s instantly adopted up by Kenan Thompson, enjoying one other Alaska worker, saying, “However, you gotta admit it regarded fairly cool — aircraft flying round, no door.”
He’s not improper, to be sincere. It did look fairly cool. If I had been on that aircraft, I’d actually by no means cease speaking about it, so I can see why a part of your aircraft ripping aside could be a cool factor, truly. Due to this, SNL got here up with a brand new slogan for Alaska: “You didn’t die, and you bought a cool story.” That’s laborious to argue towards.
Don’t be too apprehensive although. Alaska will apparently be making some adjustments to enhance security ever so barely.
“You understand these bolts that, like, maintain the aircraft collectively? We’re gonna go forward and tighten a few of these,” Elordi says whereas being essentially the most good-looking boy you’ve ever seen.
That’s all nice, however maybe my favourite bit in the entire sketch is once they herald Sully Sullenberger who admits he in all probability can not do it once more. He’s a lot older now.
Anyway, I received’t give an excessive amount of away. It is best to undoubtedly try the sketch on YouTube for the total expertise. I do know SNL has been rocky for a whereas now, however this one is price it.
