Lex --

No clue here about the *cheat line* purpose or reasoning. First I'd heard of it! I also thought the billboard thing applied only to PA. Never heard that other carriers had billboard liveries too!

To be perfectly honest, in the 6 years I was with PAA I only went to Hawaii twice and Nassau once! I was newly married and making less than $400 a month to start. I spent the rest of my working career in the travel agency business and traveled quite a bit --- mostly for free. I turned down numerous free trips to Australia, China, Egypt, Russia, Africa, Iran, India and many others because I really didn't like airplane riding that much and those destinations just didn't appeal to me. Huge mistake! Went to Hawaii, Mexico and Europe dozens of times though; and also went on dozens of cruises. Oh yeah, did the Orient once pretty thoroughly including the old HKG Kai Tak airport! Enough of that!!!
