October 24, 201213 yr I always thought the Continental scheme was a yawn, now it just says United instead, totally boring. Elijah HoytCFI, CFII, CMEL, CSEL, CSES, IFR
October 24, 201213 yr Well, let us see what happens with the new paint scheme since US Airways is talking about buying AA out..I can't even imagine how that combined US Airways and AA paint scheme would look...yuk! Janusz Wozniak
October 24, 201213 yr Well, let us see what happens with the new paint scheme since US Airways is talking about buying AA out..I can't even imagine how that combined US Airways and AA paint scheme would look...yuk! Uhm, it actually already happened... With kind regards, Bogdan Misko.
October 24, 201213 yr Uhm, it actually already happened... Well I haven't looked into it for a while so didn't wanna jump into conclusions. Is it finalized? And I really can't see the combination of those two paint jobs looking good...unless they do something totally off the charts...guess we'll just have to wait and see.... Janusz Wozniak

And I really can't see the combination of those two paint jobs looking good...unless they do something totally off the charts...guess we'll just have to wait and see.... Well, it's not "official" yet but a friend of mine who is a pilot and lives in LA, talked to some US Airways and AA pilots and they said that it is already a sure thing to happen. With kind regards, Bogdan Misko.
October 25, 201213 yr I read an article in Time a few weeks back that the new company will be AA. The AWE brand will go bye-bye. Can't say I'm sorry to see them go, I've had horrendous customer service every time I've flown with them. Hopefully they don't drag the AA name down. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dana Palmer KJAC
October 25, 201213 yr Unlike some of the people here, I actually like all three of the latest United liveries. The early orange (Rainbow) one was quite ugly, but I really liked the business-like quality of Battleship Gray. While the blue of Tulip was slightly too light, it nevertheless looked quite beautiful. While I initially strongly disliked the Continental livery, I now think it makes the fleet—particularly the regional jets—look very clean and professional.

They looked sharp, clean, and official. I guess a little too 90's for the forward motion of the company into the 21st century. Elijah HoytCFI, CFII, CMEL, CSEL, CSES, IFR
October 27, 201213 yr Exactly how I feel about those old liveries. I also liked the British Airways Landor colors and the old US Airways livery, but I can see why a switch was necessary. I do not think that the new ones are bad either.

Well don't worry. If the inevitable happens, you'll probably never get to see many Boeings with the new livery. If you Follow the discussions on Airliners.net forums, It looks like the Heavily Airbus Biased US management team will take over.... Jarrad Symes Perph, Western Australia
October 29, 201213 yr http://anthony-harding.com/?p=156 I, for one, like this guy's take on the possible future for AA. Chris Kelly VATSIM ID: 1217110 virtualdelta.org - Building a Better Virtual Airline
October 29, 201213 yr Looks nice, but I think it resembles the livery of Aeroflot too much. The font also seems to lack authority/stability. Overall, while I think it looks nice and modern, I'd like it better if it was a bit lighter.
October 29, 201213 yr Back to the video, what's up with the forward landing gear? Does it not retract? Mario Di Lauro
October 29, 201213 yr Back to the video, what's up with the forward landing gear? Does it not retract? I may be wrong, but I want to say that I've read somewhere that it's normal for them to leave the gear down during test flights.
