New Paint

[madders]

if the merger come to pass ,,,i believe no money should be used to repaint livery
. my suggestion is just to put on existing america west airplane a usairways logo at the nose ..or the smiley face

Doesn't Usairways usually do any painting to an aircraft only when its due for maintenance. It took ages to get all aircraft painted in the current livery. Then it is not any more to paint in the new scheme than if you were painting it over in the old. That would seem logical to me. We hopefully will have a logical management so we shall see.

Well, I know there are several US-X planes that still say USAIR.

Nice,

But #2 looks too much like USA3000.

The others are different than the rest of the majors (although a bit similar to NWA...I guess just the grey)

How About these ideas to keep the US Airways theme but a lighter roof for warm conditions...

scheme 1

Scheme 1 on A330

Scheme 2

When an airline changes a paint scheme, it usually paints the planes in the new scheme as they come due for painting - thus there is no extra expense involved in changing schemes. Just look at both WN & UA - they'll have planes in the old colors for some time.

That's sort of what I said earlier but was told they didn't understand. ??? I thought it was something to that effect. Maintenance or scheduled painting. Speaking of painting, have anyone really looked at the paint jobs on our US's a/c lately. I know in bk things get tight but as a passenger I would think, "If the plane looks like that do they take care of the rest of it"?.... Maybe the new "appearance supervisors" LOL can get on a ladder and start painting away.

Paint 'em any color but GRAY. So long Steven Wolf era touches.

It would not surprise me if the two companies hold a press conference and announce the merger and has a model and signage of Ref80s picture that becomes the new identity of the merged US Airways-America West, which initially will be controlled by a holding company.

Imagine the Dark Top in LAS & PHX durring the 120 degree heat, SWEET or should I say SWEAT.

Barf!

I'll keep our current livery thank you very much....I always thought that US had a great livery and branding! Don't ruin a good thing....how many transformations has AA undergone in the last 30 years? None....and their logo has become timeless.

Keep the current flag/font/livery! It's a class act (...or at least gives the image of one!)...

 

[nyboilermaker]

Looks like the flag's ripped to shreds.

Maybe brushed aluminum instead of white?

Better than an all blue airplane. Summer's coming and PHX is hot...

Say what you will about Steve Wolf, but he gave US the best and most professional-looking livery in the sky, at least among USA carriers.

 

[Travelpro72]

Although I like the current livery of US it still represents a dark period in this company "Wolf". A bit to stuffy to be a low cost operation although painting Power Puff Girls on the side of the a/c is probably not the best option either. As flying in and out of PHX alot on our airbus', they sit on the tarmac for quite some time. Although they are painted dark blue they are surprisingly cool. Now one of our crusty 737's or most 757's you would find the flight attendant in the back as just a puddle and a wrinkled uniform on the floor like the wicked witch from the west. MELTED....

also the hardest to see...the WWII NAVY planes used the same colors to help blend into the sea from above, and sky from below...not to mention their invisibility at night on the tarmac....notice BA has it right.
