It would have been nice to see Alaska reemerge as something new. Nobody knows who the hell they are anywhere outside the PNW. They are a good company and all, but they are really good at being a regional with some longer flights sprinkled in. It is amazing how you can skew a poll to have it favor anything you want, and that's what they did.
I don't mind flying airplanes with blue and green on the side, but that damn eskimo? Seriously!?
