Rumors are flying: Will Southwest Airlines change the look of its planes?

[Flying the Line]

I still say, not so good. They are trying to replicate the super low cost European Airlines, Ryanair and easyjet.

Received a link that I will pass along. All you ever wanted to know about SW but didn't really care to ask?

That 727 looks like a good ride for Goldfinger.

Thanks


Still cool to see.

Ryanair does fly to Lubeck.

It looks nothing like Ryanair or Easyjet other than the fact that they all have the name on the side of the fuselage in large letters.

Let's HOPE SWA won't duplicate FR interior in ANY way. It's repulsive, tacky and cheap.

Barf!

EasyJet is evolving into a premium lcc, FR should follow soon I bet.

Ryanair does fly to Lubeck.

So all the airplanes that have already come over from AT were painted in the old paint scheme? Couldn't change it up a year or two earlier and avoid painting the same planes twice? Way to go!

Those planes won't get re-painted until the new paint is old and faded and ready for a re-paint again.

I think the GO already had more than enough on their plates a year or so ago to also take on a new livery. As Howard mentioned, any jets that just got recently repainted get to wear the old scheme for the next seven years. Just like the corn-dog to canyon-blue transition, the fleet will be very mixed for several years. It wouldn't surprise me to see some of the last fATN -700s show up with the new paint soon. There are still quite a few presently in conversion.
