Alaska Air Mileage Plan image
[edit]That image has always struck me as being out-of-place, like an old advertisement that somebody forgot to take down, like a Pepsi machine featuring The Phantom Menace. Does its presence really enhance this page? BOTTO (T•C) 21:08, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- Feel free to WP:BOLDly remove it if you think it doesn't enhance the page (I've no strong opinion either way), but I'll note that the image itself is in the public domain because it's below the threshold of originality, so the image doesn't seem to be problematic from an WP:NFCC standpoint.

Usage of the Word Eskimo
[edit]What do we think about changing Eskimo to Inuit here? Vitalen1 (talk) 01:37, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Vitalen1, I would not recommend it. The Iñupiat of Alaska are not Inuit speakers, speaking the Iñupiaq language instead. Name Omitted (talk) 03:08, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Alaska Airlines’ quasi-official name for the logo is “the Eskimo” so it would feel strange to not use the name at least once. Beyond that, if repeated use doesn’t feel right, might I recommend the more generic Alaska Native. RickyCourtney (talk) 04:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
Alaska Destination Tables
[edit]These need to be split into three sections because of Alaska mainline Alaska horizon and Alaska SkyWest. Lucthedog2 (talk) 01:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
