Spirit's New Paint Scheme: Not Good

[jetflier]

I dunno, i think I see some Skybus colors in there....

And from a "fellow" ALPA carrier no less...........toolbox.

OMG. National Airlines called, they want their paint job back. Gees. It must be a prerequsite for airline management to constantly seek out the most aestetically retarted paint jobs immaginable. And then change it for an even dumber one. And then change it for an even dumber one...

 

[BrazPilot]

I actually like it... does give it a better look in my view. The pixel livery was nice, but too classic for a LCC. The new paint job will make people look at the planes. Its designed to be flashy and draw attention. The word Spirit is more visible too.

I heard that Airbus and Boeing are really pushing for the predominantly white paint scheme so that'll be easier to repaint any airplanes that get re-leased.

Hasn't the current livery only been around for a few years now? Why the change? I don't think the new one is that bad, but I definitely liked the current one better.

looks like ATA, maybe a merger is Coming? You heard it first here

I dunno, guys. I think this is getting a little too close to the "Acid Trip at a Pinata Factory" livery:

But, for the clientèle who is attracted to bright/shiny, this might be just the ticket.

Be careful..........alot of untrue rumors are disseminated from the DTW part of our crowd lately

 

[FLYBOYMATTHEW]

Perhaps if they were armed with facts they wouldn't have to speculate so much.

 

[Cardinal]

Coming from an airline with small furry woodland creatures on it's tail?

Well, the furries are distinctive. It's engendered remarkable brand awareness in our markets, but that's neither here nor there.

I really liked both digital schemes, I hate to see y'all abandom them. The new scheme reminds me of another lackluster livery: UK tour operator First Choice.

That's awesome.

That is very true........they will get that soon in FLL.

Didn't ATA just merge with World Airways and North American to form Global Aero Logistics? Looks like they locked up the military charters.

Facts Like?
No more base reduction until December. Oh wait.... two days later thaey reduced the DTW base ten more?

Texas and California Bases?

8. Are there plans to have bases in Texas and southern California in the future?
Per Jeff, the company has a “five-year plan,” but no answer was given. Mr. Carlson would neither confirm nor deny that new bases were planned, just that there is a plan

17,000 flight hours a month??? Out of FLL only? Come on dude we have all been "down" there. Where are that many people going to go to the bathroom? Sbarro pizza fountain soda machine? OH wait those have been broke for 3 months.

Facts, WHERE are there any facts at Spirit?

Weak pilot group YES because of stupid "us and them" comments like this from Fly boy.

I am out

 

[Shrek]

I agree, there is no way they can do all of this growth from FLL alone......I expect another base opening before DEC.

Sbarro fountain machines will never be turned on again. Apparently the owner was eating lunch there and saw several workers (probably Menzies professionals) filling up their cups (that they brought themselves) full of soda and the decision was made right then and there to not use fountain machines.

Does Flyboy even work for us?

DTW is done - slowly but surely in my opinion.

 

[LITCHAT7]

Facts, WHERE are there any facts at Spirit?

I wouldn't get so worked up...I think thats what fboymatts' point was. No facts hence nothing left to do but speculate.

 

[Shrek]

The last people to know the plans are usually the pilots..........

 

[Bighorn]

Sorry to get worked up but, I cannot stand this us and them S*^T. It is exactly what BB and his Harrison Henchmen want.
