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!
I'd normally tend to agree, but they pulled it off so well that I think it was a net positive. The video's tailored to a specific audience, and it's not us.

The shades on the pilots were a good idea, for anonymity.
