If I understood it correctly they will be carrying the cream of the Silicon Valley start up funding crowd to and from SFO/HEL.

Why would any airline want to offer a good image of themselves to the most important decision makers of the younger generation businessmen/women?

I mean, what is Silicon Valley after all, just a bunch of pizza eating propeller heads...

If AY would be in their sane minds, these gents and ladies would get a "laid back top tier service" flight to be used as a benchmark in the tough trans-Atlantic competition.
