Very Off topic....but
 

What would FCTSTY (Fly Continental to See the Yanks - for anybody under two years of age on this forum) think about all this :eek:

I know the feeling. I still have a few pieces of TWA-branded stuff...and it's meaningful to me because it reminds me of the great TWA people who loved that airline so much.

Eek! Remember PeopleDistress?

How about UACO Air? Pronounced "Yucko" Air.

The best one I read was UnContenTed...:D

What about keeping the Globe logo and superimposing the "U" over it somehow? Freshen the United logo (which is pretty tired), and maintain a piece of the CO brand?

Like This one??

Along those lines yes...

**Sigh** I wonder if they will repaint the new CO 739s in a pre-faded UA washed out dirty gray scheme to match the rest of the fleet? I'm always impressed when I land at IAH and EWR and see the nicely washed white planes with blue tails - It really speaks volumes for everyone behind the airline. Graphically CO wins hands down.

Id hope they would not! I never liked the work hard,fly right..it just never made sense to me..The best advertising I think an airline ever had was "your not just flying,your flying the friendly skies" this was a clever tune that I think maybe Barry Manilow had preformed? @:-)

I like the UA logo..I just wish they went back to the red and blue on the tail! :)

I'll also miss the livery. It's hard to imagine looking out of the floor to ceiling windows of IAH E and see nothing but gray planes--the same color as the tarmac.

That's very unlikely, since UA's new livery is white and light blue.

Either UA will stick to their script and leave the CO planes as is, or they will paint them in the new livery.

Even in their current fleet, the majority of their planes now have the new livery.

Is that to say the change to the new colors is nearly
complete? I haven't seen planes with the new livery at AUS, but that doesn't mean none fly in there. Regardless, I'm not nuts about the new UA livery. It doesn't have the snap of CO's, and there's just nothing like pulling in to IAH E and seeing nothing but white, blue, and gold.

I am not saying the UA livery is good or bad...that's really a matter of taste.

As far as the percentage of planes with the new livery, my understanding is that they have been painting an average of about 50 a year since the end of 2004. With their current fleet at 359 a/c, this means more or less 100 planes remain in the old livery...
