funguy,
Yes, I know that experimental color scheme was back in 1994. I don't think that's exactly what they'd end up with, but I just posted it as an example of how they could redesign their livery without changing the logo, the font, etc.--and probably save painting costs, too.
acmech,
Take a deep breath and put away that reamer set for now...this may be nothing more than a rumor. And even if it's not, it might not be anything worth getting upset over. Airlines may be laying people off left and right, but that doesn't mean they let the paint on their planes fade and peel off. As was mentioned above, any new livery would likely be less costly to apply than the current one. So what difference does it make what colors they use, if the planes were going to be painted anyway? Sure, it would be a different story if they announced an accelerated repainting schedule, or a whole new logo, or if they were coating planes in gold leaf, but no one has suggested anything of the sort.
