Southwest Airlines should have thought of this for its Saturday LAX-to-Oakland flights, which have long been dominated by boisterous, ghoul-costumed and half-soused Raiders fans during the fall.

To celebrate its new contract with the Raiders, AirAsia painted one of its Airbus 340s with art worthy of Jarrod Cooper’s tattoo contest. The plane’s fuselage is adorned with three menacing Raiders — completely generic, apparently — on one side and three alluring Raiderettes on the other.

The best touch: an eyepatch at the helm, though I would hope it doesn’t actually impede the co-pilot’s vision.

Unfortunately, reports say the tricked out Airbus will be part of AirAsia’s regular Kuala Lumpur-to-London route (of course; Johnnie Lee Higgins is HUGE in Malaysia). The only time it will appear in the U.S. in when it makes a promotional trip to Oakland for the season opener against the Chargers on Sept. 14.

Perhaps it could make an unscheduled trip to Kansas City to terrorize fans at Arrowhead Stadium the following weekend. One thing is for certain. Any true Raiders fan would be thrilled to step foot inside this baby. Except John Madden.
