"Continental 69, United Colors"

[Ex737Driver]

Move along, nothing to see here. SOP in any merger. NWA/DAL had to do the same... and as Nimitz says, it's "United livery"

When NWA said DAL colors, you looked for a DAL aircraft. You hear United Livery of colors and you look for a United aircraft. F'n stupid. Worse, what does a UAL pilot say in a UAL aircraft with CAL colors? UAL xxxx and all anyone sees is a CAL aircraft? Again, F'n stupid.

F'n stupid.

Agreed, it's F'n stupid. I wonder what moron down on Smith St. thought this up? The new scheme is Continental colors with United titles... to call it "Continental XXX in United livery/colors" is just ridiculous.

It is not management but the FAA so say it don't say it but if a FAA inspector with a bug up his ass could cause you some problems.

They should have looked for a totally new paint job and kept the United symbol. Bummer!

its kinda stupid when you consider places like chq, shuttle america, ASA, express jet and skywest, use the same call signs when working under different majors. The controllers seem to handle that just fine.

No what's really stupid is when you hear it being said at night!

 

[say again]

It actually is pretty damn ugly! Just doesn't look right.
