Does CO have some painted like that?

CO does not have anything like that, maybe they will paint some once they enter *A.

In other Alliance news, I did see a QF 747 yesterday with the newer QF livery and awful huge text saying ONE WORLD

:rolleyes:v, I found a "double Dunkin'". They couldn't compete with the Fort so they just opened two Duninkin's right next door to each other. They're completely separate enterprises, but about 10 feet away from each other.

It's in Northvale.

Bizarro world.

Firmly option B. Went to bed early after booking a table for my fiancee's family for Mother's Day at the new Maggiano's near them. Three phone calls and two checks of OpenTable later since the party went from 4 to 6 to an attempt to make it 9...at 7:30 on Mother's Day, at a place that has been open less than 90 days. Good luck with that. Everything is a dramatic production in that house...they do not think before they speak sometimes, and most times they take too long thinking about a decision and lose the chance to do whatever they were fretting about. My fiancee claims that this is a how a family works. If that's what an intact family does on a daily basis, I've never been prouder to be an only child of divorced parents. Who is my decision-making committee? Yup, me and me alone. Gotta love it. Woke up, beat feet out of her house, and came home after dropping off my fingerprinting results at the teaching certification place. Starting to pack for AMS and take orders for bulbs from her family unit whatever thing and wooden shoes for her l'il nieces.

CO should go the SQ route - Eurowhite *A paint job and leave the tail alone.

What's up with the recent proliferation of 52 watt (light) bulbs? I'm seeing them everywhere lately, and have never seen this option in the store.

I blame Ikea. :rolleyes:

* has very strict regulations regarding how the brand is presented in all forms, including liveries.

(I met the * brand manager at a conference a couple years ago and complimented them on their work. Their team has done a tremendous job, with the exception of the livery typeface. :rolleyes:)

Maybe CO will do a typeface update (along with new photos of their fleet).

I never dine out on Hallmark Holidays. Too much stress for just a meal. And as far as intact families go, no this doesn't have to be the norm. It wasn't in my family, except for my sister but she's a nut case anyway and I ignore her completely.

Good night Box, again.

I just put them in the kitchen here - they take a few minutes to warm up, but they last a hell of a lot longer and are brighter at full intensity than incandescent bulbs. Love them. Also, the wiring in this condo complex was done by midgets on acid....varying random incandescent bulbs blow out in this house about every 3rd week.

I'm very content with my family being between 180 and 2000 miles away. Very little drama to deal with.^

SQ seems not to care for that aircraft paint job rule, and I like the way it looks. There's no reason that *A members should not be able to do what SQ does. There's too many dimwit travelers out there for an airline to remove all of its own branding from an Alliance-painted aircraft.

Agree, agree, and really? I should let them know that.
