Alaska Airlines Evacuation

So, in my last post, I ranted about an issue the FAA should crack down on and make Boeing fix (or something). This is yet another cockpit fumes incident. And a very recent one at that, just this past weekend, the 18th I believe. They had to evacuate the entire plane. You think we would have fixed this problem by now...but maybe the aircraft IS too complex to dig deep enough into the problem and fix every one of the aircraft that have had this problem. In the past and present, that's a lot of aircraft to keep tabs on...
