Pic of first AC in "new" United livery

It's appropriate for the service level.

We get you there safely for your $99.00. Want more? Pay more.

When USAir and Piedmont merged they used the red stripe and red lettering for US and Piedmont blue for Air. http://www.airliners.net/photo/USAi...1129961/&sid=c3c82177ce2bef9d89191c06b7d140f3

I still like the UA on tail...when did that start in mid/late 1970's?

The legendary graphic designer Saul Bass came up with United's logo in 1974. He also came up with Continental's logo and many other airlines, businesses and movie graphic sequences.

I was hoping UAL/CAL would come up with something new like Delta (which I think is very classy).

The wonders of photoshop

 

[LaGarbage Man]

Something about the perspective of the "United" and the diffence in focus makes it look photoshopped.

I was thinking the same thing. I think someone is having fun with photoshop.

 

[SpauldingSmails]

Wow, they must have spent minutes developing that livery.

 

[Otto77]

this is definitely photshopped...pretty easy to tell. The proposed paint scheme is on the company site and looks nothing like this hackjob.

And Yup you'll be happy to know that SkyWest is already starting to repaint our CRJ 200's and 700's in the new livary. SkyWest probably wouldn't gamble on new paint jobs if the flying was going away?

Is this true, or just some flame bait spew? Not sure why some of you just like to stir up controversy, lord knows their is enough drama in this industry already without creating it....

Who cares. Skywest is just trying to start kissing a%$ earlier than the other regionals providing feed for UAL. Airplanes are painted all the time anyway so Skywest probably had these aircraft scheduled for paint anyway. The 70 seat jets are the only aircraft that might be phased out anyway so why not paint them up now.

 

[list2002]

Heard about 50% of CAL furloughs have responded to the recall... wonder how many UAL guys will?

Good, good. This will be a nice lesson for all the teens out there. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. Speaking of hatches...I'm sure that scope will eventually ELIMINATE 70 RJ's flown by all the teens out there. I know at least half of the United pilots OUTLAW over 50 seaters. Good luck it will be tough out there for you youngans.

Which 70 RJs will be eliminated? Are you thinking specific airframes by n-number? A mix of different types?SkyWest doesn't have any 70 "seat" RJs flying for United. SkyWest does have 66 seat CRJ700s though. Is that what you are trying to say?

Yeeep! You're assuming right...

Sweet dude! My new shiney jet has first class...

The number will be much higher than that. I expect very few will bypass. At this point I only know of 4 pilots who are bypassing. I'b be willing to bet that about 80% return.

Very boring.....

Saul Bass

Thanks for posting this. I learned a little about a guy who did a lot. This guy deserves credit and recognition for his logos. Some of the best and most recognizable logos out there. Kudos.

Let me be more clear. The 70 seat RJ's will be flown by mainline. Sorry to have mislead you all with my inaccurate statement. There will be FAR MORE than 70 rjs parked...Let's try about 500 of the 50 and 66 seat RJ's just at UAL alone over about 3-4 years. There we go...now you have the facts.

I'll bet you any dollar figure you like that this is not what happens.....It would be great no doubt! It's a fantasy! I wish that weren't the case... So you're saying that all the CRJ 7's will be brought in house and the majority of the other RJ's will be parked?

Really!? The new United will have no regional contracts?

Anything over 50 seats will be flown in house after the current contracts expire. UAL will purchase planes w/ 90+ seats.
