Do i need a visa to travel to Mexico as a green card holder with refugee travel document
Today Alaska airlines won't let me on board, because I don't have a visa on my refugee travel document. My original (non-US) passport is expired. 1 year ago I went to Cancun, Mexico with RTD & GC without issues. Is it because of harmful supervisor?

Effective March 1st 2010, all visitors traveling to Mexico either by air, land or sea are required to present a valid (non-expired) Passport or Travel Document from their country to enter Mexico.

From my personal experience, you do not need a visa to travel to Mexico if you intend to stay there for less than 180 days and You hold the US Visa or evidence of residency.
I visited Mexico in February 2019 and Traveled on Alaska Airlines and Presented the same documents. I ran on the same problem.
Next time use IATA - TimaticWeb2 and print results from both Alaska's Travel doc link
and take it to CSR or call the supervisor; they are accommodating and swift at @AlaskaAir
