New American Logo Voting........

^^^No

I agree.

The problem isnt the tail per se, its the hideously boring gloomy rest of the plane. It doesn't go with the ridiculously loud and bright american flag on the tail.

Even though I was no fan of the new US or last AW paint scheme, they did a pretty good job of hiding structural repairs. Metallic silver will look pretty good initially, but after the first few ding repairs it's gonna take on the MAACO vibe.

But if they come up with a Dallas Cowboys theme jet, that's where I draw the line!

I kinda like it. Maybe because it reminds me of Mexicana's last paint scheme. Do I remember those free tequilas in coach... :crying:

The current grey is just like the NWA paint job prior to the merger. IMO, the sharpest paint job in the last decade. AA has very similar grey so it looks sharp, but the tail is loud, but maybe that's the goal.

I agree that the grey color looks good. Nearly everyone else has a white fuselage. If the main color of the aircraft is different, it will help the brand stand out. While I do not like the new tail, the old AA logo just doesn't match the new designs. I voted, reluctantly, to keep the new tail.

I think you're a little bias coming from the NW family I'm sad to see the polished aluminum go. It was unique.

Was this an option for the vote? I like this better than the modified flag on the tail.

No. Some dude just came up with it and posted it on Americans Facebutt page. A few pilots have forwarded it to Doug Parker.

Yes, let's get the word out...."NO" to double breasted jacket and hats. Who am I kidding, USAPA has been deemed insignificant and this survey will go nowhere. Hopefully the APA guys nip the hat/admiral jacket thing in the bud.

 

[Bringupthebird]

USAPA would run a full page ad in USA Today crying about how unsafe double breasted jackets are. I wouldn't ask an organization that has perfected the art of catching itself in its own zipper everytime, for any advice on uniforms.

TAKE IT AWAY, APA!!

Bingo. Even the hub/wings website has a "small print" note that "voting doesn't decide the paint job" it just puts out a feeler as to what the employees want.

Personally I like the classic and have expressed my opinion of the new "cartoon" paint job. That being said the example they posted in the "voting" of the classic tail looks boring as others above have stated.

If they took away that eagle beak symbol and put the classic stripes down the fuselage with the classic tail it would look better. Maybe they are trying to push us to "vote" for the new paint by offering a crappy depiction of the classic tail.

Anyway I could care less at this point. Paint a giant cock and balls on the jet for all I care.

This guy.

He gets it. Every line...win.

and I lol'd

How about they focus on providing some customer service. Do they vote on that too?

You could be the VP of Tater Licking, not so different than felching Hulas.

Bring back the AA tail, the most iconic logo among all the airlines. The new design looks like a 3rd grade art project, loud, gaudy, and not in sync with the rest of the plane.
As far as customer service, I hope Doug will not impose the US style of customer service and keep the AAdvantage plan the way it is, no fees to redeem awards and a decent chance of getting desired dates when redeeming miles.

This in my opinion would have been not only the best looking AA paint job but maybe one of the best looking in the industry. Probably costs too much though. https://www.google.com/search?q=ame...-inaugural-777-300er-flight-part1%2F;1840;480
