"FAA Grounds Alaska Airlines Fleet Amid Safety Concerns"
TL;DR
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded all Alaska Airlines mainline and subcarrier flights for about an hour due to an issue with a system upgrade that calculates weight and balance. The ground stop was lifted after the problem was resolved, but nearly 150 Alaska and Horizon flights experienced delays at SeaTac airport. The airline assured that there were no safety concerns with any aircraft and advised passengers to check the status of their flights on their website.
