"Boeing whistleblower's testimony leads to hourlong ground stoppage for Alaska Airlines"
Alaska Airlines experienced a nationwide ground stoppage for about an hour due to software issues related to weight and balance calculations, affecting its flights and subcarriers. The Federal Aviation Administration lifted the ground stop after the issue was reported, but residual delays were expected throughout the day. This comes after Boeing compensated Alaska Airlines $160 million for an incident in January involving a 737 Max 9 plane.
