PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Alaska Airlines cancelled 24 flights on Sunday and Monday after flu-stricken pilots and flight attendants called in sick.
Alaska spokeswoman Bobbie Egan says about 270 passengers were affected by cancelled flights. Another 14 flights were cancelled Sunday due to bad weather.
Egan says a "very unusual" cold and flu season hit the airline's Pacific Northwest hub, and the entire region was affected.
