I voted for the traditional tail, but the piano tail certainly is distinctive (not really garish) and it really does stand out in the crowd.  I only wish they had at least gone with 13 stripes.  Would it have been THAT difficult?

While the tail motif is certainly patriotic, I just hope it wont attract the crazies.

Already did 9/11. I agree should have 13 stripes.

The only way it will affect the crazies is to make them dizzy. That paint job is uglier than a hat full of azzholes!

If we were worried about the crazies we would have changed our name to Allah Air... put our flight attendants in burquas and offer 72 virgins to every first class pax...
 
just the name is a target not the flag on the tail..

AA never had or apparently even wanted a presence in the Mid-East, in spite of the infrastructure already in place when it acquired TWA. Whether this reticence had something to do with the brand is anyone's guess.

I was stunned, I thought the AA logo would be a landslide. I will never get used to the LOUD tail design, but then again, the non-rev plan sounds good and being retired, I like to fly.

I think it's partly generational. The young crowd want pizzaz and could care less about dopey history. Sad.

I think more people voted for the logo choice than they did on our contract.

Pitiful, huh!

From the practical safety aspect of visibilty, the "piano tail" is hands-down the better of the two.  Doing my "mandatory touring" of various airport taxiways and ramps, it REALLY stands out.  The aesthetics are certainly open to discussion, but no one will not notice it.  It may even be getting "Woofs" from seeing-eye dogs.
