Yes, the skit makes no sense.

It makes sense as it parodies the typical Airlines ads/videos showing the new features, services etc.

Yeah the fault is at Boeing but not like they do this kind of videos, or if they do most people wouldn't have seen them.

If a fire is lit under the right asses then that doesn't matter. Not that it's the intent, but it sure wouldn't hurt.

SNL’s intent is not to “light a fire”, it is to be funny, which shaming the wrong party makes it not funny.

And I don’t see how lighting a fire under the wrong entity’s ass helps anyone other than Boeing.

I noted the intent.

Alaska has been lax in maintenance before (critically so, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines_Flight_261). If this pressure flows through to Boeing than so be it.

I do agree that it would have been better to skewer Boeing directly but I can see why they chose the path they did.
