The retirement of Alaska Airlines CEO Brad Tilden after a 30-year career with the company at least in one way had the University of Washington written all over it.
The team at Alaska’s sister airline, Horizon Air, recently unveiled a special Huskies-themed livery on a Q400 (tail number #N435QX) in honor of Tilden, who earned his MBA at the UW and has maintained a strong partnership with the University for several years. Tilden officially retired March 31.
