New paint Scheme

One of the CP metal 767 is being painted in the YYZ hanger now with a special scheme. No idea what is it...

It was mentioned earlier this week in "YYZNEWS":

"There hasn't been an official announcement yet, but watch for a "new" colour scheme shortly on a Boeing 767(C-GBZR/FIN645)"

AC employees were talking about it and they were making jokes about what will be painted on it.

I have heard from others in the industry that it is an aboriginal theme.

This is utterly ridiculous. It would not surprise me to find British Airways, at the moment, with more Canadian artwork on their tails than AC! Again I will say: they should stop tinkering with colour schemes and improve HARDWARE - - i.e. SEATS, A/V, CATERING, AMENITIES.\\I don't care what the aeroplanes look like outside - I am interested in their product on the inside.

I suspect that this is the case and it has been under development for about 3 years with the aboriginal community. The natives themselves could not agree on the art work.

It should be much like the "Raptors" A320 that was around for many years.

From an associate who saw the aircraft yesterday:

"I got a sneak peek at what the a/c will look like today (they've only got the base white and some masking on it now). It's going to have a large eagle along the fuselage with a wavy grey band underneath it. A pretty attractive looking design that I think is Inuit (maybe not, but "Aboriginal").... Mostly green and black, but a lighter green than the tail, which didn't change.
It looked pretty sharp in the drawing I saw."

I guess the rest of us will have to wait and see

So is that a nod to AC's predatory behaviour or a hint that AC is about to be taken over by American Eagle?

As far as the value of their stock goes American Eagle may be able to buy them out...heck Westjet has more value in their capital stock than does AC!!
