You should work to talk with TSA about not harassing and being aggressive and mean with your customers. This was the worst I’ve ever been treated by TSA in an airport without having done anything wrong. Experience with Alaska was good. My flight got messed up last minute and I wasn’t able to check in bc of the divided flight between Hawaiian and Alaska which made the flight less great

The back of the seat is too low with my head being several inches higher than the seat even when the headrest was realised. My connecting AA short haul connecting heights had higher seat backs.
