I remember when the first bird came from Boeing and it was the first 737 with the new livery. We all thought, NFW, the 717 will look like crap with Blue engines. At first we hated it and even told the VP who came up with the scheme our thoughts, which did not go over well. As time went, it seemed to grow on us and IMHO, the Beige looked terrible as it fades to fast. I have to agree with Jim about the nose.... makes it look like a boat or fish. But hey, we made a few coins this Quarter so I'm cool with it.Not that my opinion counts for anything (I work for US and with FL making money and growing who cares about the livery), but I just can't get too fond of the new livery. It's not the colors - it's the green rising toward the front that I don't like. For that reason and that reason only, I like the old livery better.

I don't know about his wife but inquire to the VP of Marketing, that will get you close. I like it when we have to change a nose cowling from a new livery and strap on a beige one <717 Fleet>..... Reminds me of the old Jethro Tull song line.... snot running down his nose....I'm with the above posters....the lines of the new scheme just don't work with the lines of a Boeing (717 or 737). Looks like it was conceived by a VP's wife. :down:
I do think the the airtran.com slapped on the inside winglets on the 73 is a bit tacky.When I first saw the new livery, my first impression was that the blue engines just didn't match the green and red stripe. Now the blue looks OK, but I have to agree that the "swoosh" effect of the green rising up to the nose just doesn't look right. A smooth taper front to rear would have been a more attractive choice, but hey if it makes money, I can live with it.
