I uploaded the pictures on airliners.net but they are still not showing up maybe they will be on tomarrow. I'm having problems getting this forum to attach the pictures.

You know, I still can't help but see all the design elements that I would have tweeked a bit. I keep thinking it's going to grow on me, but it hasn't.
I've always liked the typeface of US Airways (not the name, but the type). But it doesn't work here. I think they should have gone with a larger type-face, scaled to be similar to America West. Also, I would have thrown the belly cheatline with a bit more french curve, rising over the wing, and up turning on the tail, but still remaining under any doors and windows. I'm not in love with the grey lines beginning in the middle of the fuselage, but I still expect those to grow on me, because it's somewhat unique. But I definitely would have integrated the red tip on the tail with the wavy bands that blend into the tail blue on blue. It's awkward and emphasizes the awkwardness of the cast-in-bronze, rectilinear 'flag-like' motif element logoesque thing on the tail.
I guess the design definitely prepares the casual observer's eyes for a graphic change, since the old elements are so awkward.
