Worth a listen here ⬇️. Alaska Airlines is positioning itself for a dramatic global transformation, and Minicucci spells some of it out in detail with some poking and prodding from this group of the foremost aviation writers around. And: could we see flat-bed seats on AS transcon flights, finally?!

Attention earlybirds (or night owls depending upon your time zone)... there is a special episode of @theairshowpodcast.com that will drop in just a little over 6 hours. That's right, 3am PT. Why so early? Because we didn't want to wait any longer than we had to.

Though I love the podcast and greatly enjoyed the episode, I have a tiny bone to pick with @theairshowpodcast.com's claim that the Airbus A321XLR, if not revolutionary, will “just” be a Boeing 757 replacement.
The 321XLR is STILL NOT a 757 replacement. Here’s why, plus my 757-illustrated analysis 🧵
