Editor's Notes
- #16: -Alaska Airlines traces it¡¯s roots back to 1932 -9 th largest carrier in the US. 3% of domestic traffic. $3.5 Billion in Revenues -Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air together serve 93 cities through an expansive network in Alaska, the Lower 48, Hawaii, Canada, and Mexico. Point of Trivia: The image on the tail of some of our Alaska Airlines planes is an artist's composite of an Eskimo, not any one individual. It is loosely based on a resident of a town in Alaska who was legendary for meeting and greeting each plane with a smile and wave to the pilots.
