Ploy or Plot?

The mere fact that AAG took delivery of two A321NEO's with these "special paint schemes" (SF Giants and Most West Coast) WITHOUT VX or AS markings/logos/ANYTHING to show the general public this is an Alaska or Virgin America airplane says all you need to know about this place and who runs it. Our competition in the PNW and Cali really don't have to do anything special to beat us, they just have to sit around and wait for us beat ourselves which we're doing an outstanding job of right now.

They run too lean an operation. Then they do a knee-jerk purchase of an airline with a whole different business model and identity. We're talking about oil and vinegar.
The continued cost-cutting and the lack of leadership and vision is becoming more obvious to the other frontline employees.
This is going to take a toll to a point that our customer service is going to suffer. So, eventually our passengers will hate us too.
The inbreeding at Angle Lake prevents them from having a paradigm shift. Doesn't seem likely that we'll ever get a real CEO with vision and leadership. Our BOD would hate that.
Instead, we have a Boy Scout former CPA who is tone deaf. His lieutenants are tone deaf BM and uber tone deaf yes-man VP of Flight Ops TK.
I don't have much hope for things changing for the better.
