Perfecting your snackuracy is just great advice.
Jaunted spotted a new and rather hilarious commercial from Alaska Airlines, featuring the beloved Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
Now you might be wondering what Wilson knows about training an airline staff. According to the one-minute version of the commercial, he knows far more than you think:
Young girls wanting a teddy bear or hungry travelers in the cheap seats, you can thank Wilson for your quick and, well, accurate service.
Come for Wilson's brilliant, "let's get that teddy bear home," but stay for the awesome awkwardness that ensues when a pilot is mandated to sit in an ice bath next to the NFL star.
This is just the latest entertaining turn for the airline and Wilson. Back in Dec. 2013, CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson reported that wearing a No. 3 jersey on Seattle-departing flights earned you priority seating, possibly making temporary fans of even the most ardent 49ers loyalist.
It was then that CEO Brad Tilden dubbed the QB with a new moniker: "Russell is known for his determination, professionalism, integrity and his humble heart - qualities we all aspire to. His meticulous planning and legendary hustle help make Russell a proven winner. We're pleased to make him our honorary CFO - 'chief football officer.'"
One of the lesser know duties of the chief football officer is to whip the staff into flight shape, making sure passengers get to desired seats and free peanuts get to their bellies.
We will go ahead and assume the cabin will be running as smooth as a Seahawks offense from here on out.
