America West's Fleet Transition To Us Paint Scheme

While not about the color scheme, there is a discussion - and poll - over at the HP board about whether the "Cactus" call sign should be retained.

US Airways and America West to introduce new livery

US Airways and America West Airlines will introduce new aircraft livery for the combined company on Tuesday, Aug. 23.

Employees are invited to join Chairman, President and CEO Doug Parker, and President and CEO Bruce Lakefield as the first plane with the new look, an Airbus A320, makes its inaugural tour.

Events are scheduled in Philadelphia at 7 a.m., Pittsburgh at 9:30 a.m., Charlotte at 12:30 p.m., Las Vegas at 3:45 p.m., and Phoenix at 6:30 p.m. All times are local.

As we celebrate this important milestone, we look back on the 65 years of US Airways history -- and 22 years of America West history -- that make up our companies today and that we will carry forward into the new US Airways.

On Monday, we asked if those of you who worked for Allegheny, PSA or Piedmont, kept your old uniforms. Today we add a follow-up question: Can you still fit into your uniform? If so, congratulations! We need you!

If you have a couple of days off, and would like to be a part of this historic journey, we are looking for employees from the vanguard carriers to volunteer to travel with the newly painted aircraft -- in uniform. That means pilots, flight attendants, gate agents, fleet service, utility and other uniformed employees. US Airways will be represented by the flight crew staffing the flight.

If you are interested, please e-mail your name, original carrier, contact information, and where you reside to USNEWS@usairways.com. We hope you will be willing take a walk down memory lane while flying into the future on Aug. 23.

More details of this event will be provided as the day draws closer.

When they had the bowling shoe look it indeed pointed to the Northwest, and was a bit of an optical illusion... it's an N! And a W! Now the logo points wherever.

Touche. Sometimes tinkering with the original logo can make one loose the integrity or the intent of the design... The logo says everything to the consumer. Think about it. We see it everywhere. Luggage tags, Yellow pages, webpages, tickets, etc.
This is an excellent example. Thanks.
 
So from what I am reading...this is what it should look like or pretty close?

Well folks, it seems as the white plane with the blue bottom and the HP "squiggles" is the winner. The picture was sent out to the management ranks Friday.

I bet the 'squiggles' are gone, but that the name USAirways is written in that type of line color- gray and the tail is different... no more 'icon'

I really think the tail is the big mystery. I've sent my aging parents out on an espionage mission in La. We'll see if they can figure out how to use the digital camera or not.
