Alaska pilots face six month suspension over oxygen lapse
Two Alaska Airlines pilots continued a flight from Portland to San Jose after the emergency oxygen system for about half the 92 passengers was consumed. An FAA inspector urged a six month license suspension for unsafe flight, improper checks, and failing to ensure oxygen. The incident left passengers without oxygen for about half the trip, then the system was restored and the plane landed safely.
