    The transaction was legit, so why the pantomime about the goods journey

    Unlikely there is any deliberate fraid involved
    given that it is pretty odd coming from Alaska.

    More likely he had discovered that that works out
    cheaper for the majority of his sales to americans
    that shipping individual orders from Shantwei City.

    Interesting that Alaska Airlines has a major
    hub in Achorage where they do quite a bit
    of very heavy maintenance on real antiques
    like C47s and Electras which they still use.
    Presumably they use the specialised pens that
    you may have ordered for the same sort or work.

    If you're flying Alaskan on one of their 737 Max-9s, try and avoid seat

    Very likely but they did spend a lot of money getting it up to spec.

    Bit surprising in some ways given how low to the ground the engines are.

    Likely to be 'interesting' for the engine-a if they
    come off the cleared runway into a snow drift.

    That wouldn't be fun, its main use is between Edmonton and Yellowknife shuttling freight so between 2 decent size airports.
    AFAIK the 737 200's can operate into unsealed runways if fitted with a
    "gravel kit", don't know if the 300's can do that, possibly not with
    bigger engines being closer to the ground.
