work has put me on the road for a couple weeks and i haven't been out and about in NYC for a while, but holy crap. i landed at newark, the friendly ads are everywhere. looked out the window and saw a bunch of them on the top of taxis. took the subway to go to a bar, and saw a bit of this:

i know NYC is a key market for all the airlines, and the old CO always marketed heavily here (i remember seeing the work hard, fly right ads everywhere) but holy crap. haha it's pretty hilarious. i guess it's still a welcome sight after seeing mr. barrett and his credit card everywhere in the city.
