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

I don't know the answer to your question for sure.

But, I should think we could have done a better job than this!!!! Looks like CRAP, if you ask me. The font is horrible.

Probably some executive's sister or something came up with this!!

Wouldn't this post be better served on Airliners.net or an Embry-Riddle blog. All of us will do a double take the first time we see a Continental plane that says United or a United Airbus in new colors, but will become quickly accustomed. Can anyone say they honestly care what the paint scheme is other than hard core enthusiasts?

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?

The United looks very generic.

Insert "lazy, blind" before sister and we would be getting somewhere.

Seriously, this is just awful.

I really don't give a rat's ass how it's painted as long as my bank account gets bigger on the 1st and 16th of every month.

Damn skippy!

Why is everybody shocked... this paint scheme has been out for a few months. Granted it ain't pretty but like captain x says it can be ugly as long as my bank account gets bigger on the 1st and 16th

It's just a sign of the innovative minds running the airline. Such clues of mediocrity should never go unnoticed. It could provide hints of what to expect from this breed of managers.

I give it 3 years maximun...

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

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?
