A passenger on an Alaska Airlines flight bound to Seattle looked out
the window and saw what appeared to be a damaged area on the wing with a
handwritten note saying, "We know about this."

The incident July 28 drew comments on Twitter and other
social media websites, but the Seattle-based airline says there was
nothing to worry about.


Spokeswoman Bobbie Egan said Tuesday that it was an approved
trim repair to the corner flap on the right wing. A maintenance
technician wrote to let the flight crew know.

Egan says, "The message was the result of someone's good
intentions" but the wing note "was not appropriate and did not follow
company procedures."




The message was immediately removed, and Alaska apologised for any alarm it may have caused.
