It’s a bit ironic that the featured artist is “Men Without Hats” which is a pretty accurate description of the Airbus pilots on property. Rumor has it that when the pricey Hollywood firm that produced the VX singing and dancing inflight safety video were offered the use of our employees they took a “hard pass”. I don’t tend to have an opinion on these things but I think it shows. I’m just relieved that no VX video ever featured a dancing pilot (actual employee or not). Now Alaska joins SWA in the dubious distinction of having actual pilots from their list dance for a quirky video in uniform. Sorry, I guess I’m no fun but that’s cringey to watch.

it’s nice that we can argue about inconsequential things every once in a while rather than contentious sociopolitical issues or whether retreading a sixty year old airplane is a good idea. Happy 2021!
