Two things - 1 - Is it me, or does it seem to be taking a very long time to get the new first class up and running? I've been on one A320 that had the upgraded interior, but I don't think I've seen many - if any - 737's with the new first class 2 - So much talk about expansion, but for a good reaso...

Jump to postThe short answer is no, Alaska isn't ditching the Eskimo, nor should they necessarily, but sorry guys, Alaska's look is dated. Why? The Eskimo was designed in the early 70's.

Jump to postThis isn't just an A320 issue. It's common sense. You only have to search for a leaking bottle so many times before you start asking people to place liquids on the floor.

Jump to postOh and no pictures but the other three choices were selected in this order:
Blue Thunderbirrd
Golden Nugget
Red Thunderbird
My favorite was blue, which came in 2nd.
I don't know why they said they couldn't do bare metal, but they said if this design were chosen it would be paint.
I really hope they reconsider, because bare metal would look *really* sharp.
