Alaska Airlines is an American airline headquartered in the Seattle metropolitan area of the state of Washington. The company was founded in 1932 as McGee Airways, offering flights from Anchorage, Alaska. Alaska Airlines has flights to more than one hundred destinations in the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Costa Rica, and Mexico. The fifth-largest airline in the United States, Alaska Airlines is a major air carrier and, along with its sister airline Horizon Air, is part of the Alaska Air Group. The airline has been ranked by J. D. Power and Associates as having the highest customer satisfaction of the traditional airlines for eleven consecutive years.[8][9]

The airline operates its largest hub at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (nicknamed "Sea–Tac"). It also operates secondary hubs in Anchorage, Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco and focus cities at San Diego and San Jose. Although most of its revenue and traffic comes from locations outside of Alaska, the airline plays a major role in air transportation in the state. It operates many flights linking small towns to major transportation hubs and carries more passengers between Alaska and the contiguous United States than any other airline.[10]

The machine was invented by Marek Szymanski, a Polish-Australian man with big dreams to automate the pancake-making process for Saturday morning family breakfasts.

From 2000-2004, Syzmanski went through a number of prototypes, preparing and consuming more than 1 million pancakes before he designed the pancake machine we know and love today.

“The first machine, really it was like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang breaking the eggs and making the batter from scratch,” says Mike Genereaux, vice president of sales for Popcake North America, the machine’s distributor.

Genereaux says there more than 7,000 machines around the world, in settings from university dining halls to hospitals to casinos. Some “Hollywood types,” have even gone so far as to purchase their own personal pancake machines.

“We never envisioned replacing the griddle, says Genereaux. “We’re more of an addition. It’s really automated the pancake world.”
