You are seriously asking if Southwest might implement something quickly?

I predict at least two years to repaint the fleet.

Of course, if they were adding a row of seats at the same time they would finish 700 planes in six months.

I agree that someday they will rename the airline to position themselves as a truly national/international airline. But that will be the next management team. If Herb was still in charge they probably would have done it already.

New Name Suggestions:
  • Pan Am
  • TWA
  • Air America
  • Branniff
  • Freedom Airlines
  • JetAmerica
  • Legend Airlines
  • National Airlines
  • Nationwide Airlines
  • Red Baron Airlines
  • Sky Trek
  • Valujet
  • Airtran
"Hooters" hasn't been used lately.

Wow....I would not call it special. Maybe it will be a one off

I don't really love the font but also mostly don't care.

I am not high on the font either.

Was hoping for Comic Sans, just to see graphic pros gnash their teeth.

I like the colors and tail design...but I'm with the others...I hate the font.

I also feel like the front could've used some decoration or a color streak or something...

You are apparently delusional.

That new livery is hideous.
