Alaska is a good airline, this will get figured out quickly.
It's the best. They had that devastating crash in the mid-90s and essentially just decided to be the best after that. Most of the employees are lifers who own the stock also, and you can tell.

Also, United has more of these Max 9s in their fleet than Alaska.

I wonder if United has more 9s with the emergency door or with plug configurations.

On the 737-9 MAX, Boeing includes a rear cabin exit door aft of the wings, but before the rear exit door. This is activated in dense seating configurations to meet evacuation requirements. The doors are not activated on Alaska Airlines aircraft and are permanently “plugged.” The door position in question is highlighted below inside the red circle.

Every single person on flight 261 died. If they had that happen again they wouldn’t be an airline anymore.

That was in 2000. They really couldn’t afford more devastating crashes in such a short period.
