From an advertising/marketing standpoint this is bad, a flyer will look at the plane, and it would be difficult for them to associate it with AS, the plane says "most west coast" but what's the most west coast? Chester please.

Chester is proudly all Boeing.

It means the marketing team is in a slump.

Have to put something on there.
AS is now a Boeing/Airbus airline...surely that reality has set in, no?

Considering that they've said they'll be painting the Airbii into Alaska colors, it's an odd thing for people to be rattling on about in this thread. I think for some it's just an opportunity to bash, but whatevrz.
