Does Delta copy everything off of Alaska Airlines? At least AS makes it harder by restricting priority boarding to searing Russell Wilson’s #3 jersey, not just any Seattle Seahawks clothing.

it’s a marketing ploy, just like the clickbait headlines found on blogs like this.
Keep up the good work Gary. Some Richards are just Richards.
