I’d venture a guess that no one in Alaska, the state or the airline “coined” the term “The Jet”. You’re explanation doesn’t shed light on why other airlines use the same terminology. Us lowly Alaska pilots don’t have nearly enough influence to shape the linguistic stylings of other pilots at other companies. I like your confidence though.
Perhaps that’s how future generations of Alaska (or Jetblue, Southwest, Delta, etc) will distinguish VX pilots from AS.

Those who are calling out the people who say “the jet” are Virtue Signaling. They’re basically saying Hey, I’m morally superior to you because I’m humble enough to say “the plane” versus you arrogant types who feel the need to say “the jet”.
Whatever. I guess you folks need something to make you feel like you’re better than the next guy.
The JET, or The PLANE. WGAF?!

I’m gonna start saying “the Jet”, so everyone from here on out knows that I’m an “original” Alaska pilot...... Honestly, who cares? We at AS must be pretty well off if all we can scrounge up to squabble about is the use of the term, “the Jet”. We all know this ain’t true so let’s get over this. I fly with guys that say things I wouldn’t say all the time. I don’t whine about it and I don’t act as if what I say is superior to what they say. B n B are probably reading this thread and laughing so effin hard right now about upcoming negotiations.

When I’m flying the 321 I’m going to start saying “you’ve got the geared turbofan”

The irony of dude calling an Airbus "the bus" while crying about another dude calling a jet, "the jet." Simply the most entertaining thread all week

I just don't see the government, whatever party in power, allowing a merger of that size. Nobody knows for sure and I'm just basing my guess off of articles written by analyst. Most work groups would probably enjoy getting taken over by the top 4 as the Alaska wants their workers number 5 in pay.
