Airlines Giving Priority To Wilson Fans

Russell Wilson has guided the Seahawks to the NFL's best record (12-2). He is the winningest second-year quarterback in NFL history. And now he can help you out at the airport. Anyone wearing a Russell Wilson jersey can get priority boarding on Seattle-departing Alaska Airlines flights. Alaska Air Spokesperson Bobbie Egan tells KING 5 the promotion is good for the duration of the Seattle Seahawks season. On Tuesday, Russell Wilson was named official spokesperson for Alaska Airlines. So what if the response is overwhelming? Alaska Airlines expects an outpouring of Seahawks support and says they're ready for it/Jennifer King, KREM. More here. (AP file photo, of Russell Wilson)

DFO: I wonder what would happen if I wore a Colin Kaepernick 49er jersey on my next Alaska Airlines flight?

Question: Would you wear a Russell Wilson jersey to get priority treatment from Alaska Airlines?
