Boeing company uses A321 in website promo
A Boeing company, Inventory Locator Service, yesterday posted an Evolution of Boeing graphic on its website that traces key points in Boeing’s history.

Probably the worst marketing that had no clue what they were doing.
This sort of mix-up happens all the time. The Florida tourist board uses a sunset photo shot in Hawaii. A company in Colorado uses a scenic photo of mountains in Wyoming. It happens a lot. Some low-level peon picks a stock photo to use and their higher-ups assume it's the right one. Most people in this forum know aircraft well, but none of us are experts in every field and could make similar mistakes. What should happen is that someone higher in the food chain should have double-checked it, but we live in an imperfect world. Anyway, if it wasn't for mistakes like this, some of you would have no one to feel superior to.
I definitely agree with you. Just to add that sometimes even the people higher in the food chain prefer a sunset in Hawaii than a sunset in Florida for their ad. So, it's not necessarily a low-level peon mistake.
That said, I do agree that a high Boeing officer should notice the mistake much more easily, than the sunset mistake...

I would be surprised if every high Boeing officer (especially maybe in Finance or some other admin posts like say IT) would be capable of differentiating their a/c from any other manufacturers.
Indeed!
