This name is just plain stupid. Both Jet Blue and Song state that young females are making more and buying decisions on leasure air travel, so I guess TED must be attractive name for to lure young, hip female to buy their products.
Why dosen't United have an airline for the Young hip guys, and call it UNI. They can run the same type of advertisning that Uniroyal tires did years ago. They had three spokes people UNI-Roy-Al. If I remember correctly it was a huge flop.
TED sounds that stupid as well

I like the name. In a time when UAL needs a light moment, this provides great marketing and advertising opportunities. Immediately TED needs a young hip spokesman...someone who can do for TED and UNITED what Steve did for DELL. Wow, my juices are flowing and I don't even work there. 
You mean make me rush for the remote the instant the ad starts? 'Cause that's what that "Dell dude" moron did for me!firstamendment said:
And then we'll wait for the "Ted guy" to get busted for possession of a controlled substance... 😛
I know a number of persons in this company will really bad mouth Dick Ferris.
Quite a number of years ago, a certain Customer Service Agent was in the hospital with cancer. His number came up for furlough. At the time, that meant lost of all medical benefits.
Two female Customer Service Agents felt it was not right to furlough him in his time of need. That evening, they sent a message to Mr. Ferris concerning the situation.
By 10:00 AM the next morning there was a reply posted on the bulletin board. It said: "Mr. XXXXXXX is to be retained in excess until further notice. Signed, Dick Ferris."
Also, no one should forget who closed the deal for the Pacific Operation.
As for TED, I love it.

I was gonna mention Uni Roy and Al, but I figured that no one else would remember it!
As for Ted, think "Ted Baxter" arrogant, self important, clueless and laughable.
Forced hipness is just sad.
Wonder if Beauvais is gonna call "Roam" something like "Embezzle-air"

A picture of the new "Ted" color scheme appeared in Wednesday's editions of the Wall Street Journal and Rocky Mountain News. The article in the RMN provided some additional details not mentioned in the UAL press release.

Here's an even better picture:

In Wednesday's Plane Business Banter, Holly Hegeman noted that her sources indicate that the new mainline livery shares several aspects with the new Ted livery. It's obvious that the "tulip logo" is retained and the lettering on the aircraft will now match the lettering used everywhere else. I'm guessing the tails on the mainline aircraft will be just like those on Ted's planes, except in blue.
