the first model 100's were short range with limited seating. Going through the 200, 300 and larger models, range and seating were increased into the product.

i dont know about the current statue os alaka airlines,but i do remember a long time ago when american and alaska had what was called an interchange agreement at the time,where people flew part of a ticket on aa and part on ak and it was handled as one transaction..american also did ground servicing and passenger check ins for ak at certain cities..i loved seeing the eskimo face on the tail of the plane!

Eskimo is considered offensive. The proper word is inuit.
