Alaska was, before they bought Virgin, famously a Boeing-only airline! (And a 737-only airline at that!)

Yet Horizon Air currently operates two types of aircraft, the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 turboprop and the Embraer 175 regional jet. They’re a 100% subsidiary of Alaska Air Group and Alaska Air puts its code on them.

I was gonna say... How could a Seattle-based airline be all Airbus?
