I truly don’t care what I fly.. 320, 737, 152, kite, parachute pants, fly fish.. just pay me the industry rate with a good contract and I’ll be content.
Yes it applies to those who fly on our airbuses. All I’m saying is Alaska’s customer base is generally more intellectually deficient than those who flew virgin and it is noticeable... the new clientele is a lot more southwestesque minus a few is points. To be expected with lower fares though.
Also, I do believe that anyone living in Washington St or Oregon would have a notion that boeing is superior to all other aircraft manufacturers purely based on them being built in their backyard. Average joe knows the phrase “if it ain’t boeing, I ain’t going.”
I do feel dumber after discussing this though. Hopefully uncle benjy has some sauce to feed me to get me feeling alright again

Also, you say a pax would have to be completely ignorant of aviation to say they prefer a 737 to a 320 but now say they are at least knowledgeable enough to form an opinion based on what they’ve heard about each aircraft? Seems like the MORE you say they know, the more opinionated they become against the 320 vs. the 737. I’m still of the mindset that 99% of the traveling public couldn’t tell the difference between most airplanes. It’s just very interesting that it would make you upset enough to attack a customer base as dumb because you hear something that goes against your bias. They’re both narrow body airplanes that pay the same bud. If we go all one fleet or the other, your paycheck ain’t gonna change. Uncle Ben will make it better though. He’s got enough love for everyone.
