Alaska Airlines is holding a big media and investor day on September 29, and that means it’s a rare time when I will be in person with my two co-hosts of The Air Show — Brian Sumers and Jon Ostrower. Instead of just taking a photo to commemorate this momentous occasion, we’ve decided to do our first ever LIVE show that evening at 7:30pm where we talk about all the news that Alaska and Hawaiian released that day.

We quietly announced we were doing this late last week, and half the tickets have already been sold. Is it because of our charming personalities? Obviously. Well, it’s that and the fact that I sing airline jingles like an angel. But it’s also because we will be interviewing Alaska President Shane Tackett on stage, and people want to hear his take on the big news of the day.

As an added bonus, Boeing has graciously offered to host the event at the Boeing Customer Experience Center (CEC) in Renton, just a few minutes away from the media day venue. This place is usually off limits to the public, but you’ll get the chance to go in and walk through a couple of mock cabins while you’re there.

Are you still not sold on how much fun this will be? It’s only $50 including fees. Still not there? Ok, fine. We will have beer! And light bites!

If you still are on the fence, I don’t think there’s anything I can do, but I’ll try one last thing…

After the recording — which you get to hear before everyone else since it won’t go live for a couple of days after editing — there will be a Q&A with us and Shane. This won’t be put into the podcast, so it’s really about getting your burning questions answered. (And I’ll save you from having to waste your most obvious question… boxer briefs is the answer.) Then there will be time to mingle with us after as well.

With half the tickets already sold, I wouldn’t wait too long to make a decision. Come and join us!
