So what’s the deal?

Today it was reported that the delivery of that new gorgeous Alaska Airlines’ retro-livery 737 aircraft has been delayed by Boeing.



The plane, called the “DC-3 Starliner,” was expected at ceremonies in Seattle Tuesday and in Alaska on Thursday. Those receptions have been canceled, Alaska Airlines told the Puget Sound Business Journal.

The livery was voted on by the airline’s employees — and is part of the airline’s 75th Anniversary.

“The Boeing Company has notified Alaska Airlines that it is unable to deliver a 737-800 adorned in a classic paint scheme on Feb. 27 as scheduled,” officials at the Seattle subsidiary of Alaska Air Group said in a statement.

Boo hiss to Boeing.
