I did not mean to be insensitive to the pilot group as a whole (or to the 30 out today specifically), but was merely commenting on the efforts of these kids. Any reasonable person, however, has to wonder how many pilot jobs could have been saved with the paint money.

Two thoughts do come to mind; why is it any time an airline is in trouble they repaint all the airplanes? USAirways (twice), United, TWA and Delta. Not saying this is what is happening at Alaska since it is only one aircraft, but it did bring up the thought.
The cost to repaint a medium-sized airliner, if I recall correctly, is about 30 thousand each.

This is probably wishful thinking.......but best of luck to them.

If the plane was suppose to be repainted anyway, does it really matter what colors they repaint it in? Does a livery like this cost more than the standard Alaska livery? That isn't a rhetorical question, I'm really asking.
