What if?

Since Eastern Airlines had the same paint scheme for many years before they ceased operations, do you think they would still have the same paint scheme today if they were still in business?

You're just trying to get someone to photo-crop some ridiculous paint scheme onto an old EAL photo.

Hey Brownonyourbone,

I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

Actually it's not that dumb of a post. I was thinking about this the other day while sitting in CVG. CAL has had their paint job since 90-91. It works. Delta has painted their aircraft and changed their logo 3 times in that same period of time. How much does it cost to change equipment logos, aircraft paint, jetway bridge logos, various airport logos in the interior, company stationary, uniforms, etc, etc... How much money do these companies have to waste on rediculous things. Just pick a damn paint job and stick with it! The original widget was perfect.

Why don't ailines sell space on their big airplanes for advertisment? Look that 767 looks like it flies for NASCAR!

Sorry to inform you, but it is still a dumb post.

Wow. No creative types here. I don't think it's so stupid. Have some imagination.

Yeah, and ATA would still be around if the "palm tree" paint scheme was still around.

OK, there were a couple B757's that still had it, but it's still a ridiculous supposition. It didn't keep Braniff around either.

Skybus tried it, and it worked out for them! Oh, wait...

Cool avatar, which model of the Merkava is that?

I've always liked the Saudi Airline's paint job and logo, right down to the double scimitars crossing each on the vertical stab. Kind of reminds me of their judicial system.

From a distance it looks kind of like a skull and crossed bones...
