January 4, 2016: Alaska Airlines, one of the better consumer friendly air carriers these days, landed a 737 on an “active” taxiway at their home based Seattle International Airport recently. Apparently not the first time this has happened there — would seem that alert tower air traffic controllers would notice this prior to the plane landing and request the pilot make another try on the correct runway? Maybe pilots and airport officials are just a little too intent on keeping things on schedule these days and compromising safety?
