Notice the E190 is "Express".

Also note the the E190 is an E170. Along with the Dash 300 being a 200.

Embraer 190 "Express" sign should be removed, because it copied same picture as E170 "US Airways Express" by MidAtlantic Airways.

E190 length should be bigger than E170.

I'll say this, the colors I think are a lot more beautiful than the dark blue over gray. I think it is cool

I've been waiting to see what the Dash-8 would look like. Even the 1900D looks pretty cool. It to bad that the downloaded images are fuzzy.

The Airplane Superstore (located at the Dulles Airport) has several 1:200 and 1:100 scale models in the new US Airways colors.

I think I remember someone saying something about the Dash-8 being very difficult to repaint. Dunno why....

There might have been a mistake in the pictures including the Emb190. I don't believe that the 190 is going to have Express placed on the side of the aircraft

The more I look at them, the more I wonder why the Blue from the tail does not go down to the Blue underneath. It seems that would a "natural flow" between the two... Otherwise, it is a nice paint scheme...

WTF? They need to put them in order smallest to biggest and put them in some sort of perspective.. it looks like the Dash 8 is bigger than the A330, and the CRJ200 is bigger than the CRJ900.

And that better be some sort of mistake with the E170 with Express titles in place of the E190... better not be a hint. Remember the disapointment when someone snapped a pic of the E170 in the hangar in Brazil with Express titles, even after the company issued press releases saying it would be dual class and wear US Airways titles? Let's hope they aren't pulling that bull again...

I wish I could grow to like that paintjob but I just can't... It's really awful. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but wow, that is really uninspired and cheap looking!

Yeah I agree!

Sorry, but it's not growing on me either. I still think that the company must be considering refreshing the type face, logo and tail section. The old elements are REALLy not compatible with the new scheme. Update the typeface, ditch the logo and swoosh up the tail colors and it'll be much better.

 

[lightfxboy]

Is it just me, or does the 1900 look like a 1900C instead of 1900D?

I've got to agree w/ a couple of the earlier posts. The new paint scheme doesn't work for me, either. With hubs in PHX and LAS, it was clear that the old one had to be changed, but I still think it looks better than this new livery. My biggest problem with the new one is that the tail just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the plane. If they were going to change, they probably should have gone with a whole new look - nose to tail. Not a huge issue in the grand scheme of things, but it just doesn't look quite right to me.

As for the website depictions, yes, they should work from the A330 down to the B1900. The planes should also be in some sort of relative size proportion to one another...right now, they're definitely not. Just one more thing for the IT guys to add to the update list.....

Ditch our logo? you mean the flag? GASP!

Could it be possible I saw a Saab340 in the new livery at LGA on this past Saturday?

Yep, you did. It looks beautiful too.
