Serious Alternatives to SureJet

[J bar]

One word, as aussie said, forget the geographic add on, and drop this SUPER REGIONAL campaign

I pulled this great line from another thread: (thanks wms)

The brand needs to reflect our mission as an airline, not paint a flowery picture of a corporate culture that doesn't exist.

This one sentence says everything about why SureJet is such a poor choice, but also tells us what the requirements of a new name really are. I started this thread because I'm still afraid that the company doesn't get this, and we'll get a survey asking us to vote between:

NewParadymeAir
ConfidenceJet
Synergies Airlines
Winning!Air

With keeping the mission thing in mind, good choices for me so far seem to be:

JetLink--good description, has actual history behind it
Nexus Airlines--perfect definition, although downside most people don't understand it
SkyEast--But ONLY if our holding company agrees to change its name to simply Sky, Inc. or Sky Airlines, Inc. This would accurately define our "real" mission (forget the 50 states B.S.), it would provide some kind of justification for keeping two identical airlines separate, and it would remove the appearance of favoritism from the holding company. This one is my favorite, as Inc. could start a feeder airline in South America and call it SkySouth, they could have an airline in Asia, SkyOrient, they could even start SkyEurope one day. I like this option because it makes some kind of sense within a larger brand, and branding actually is critically important these days.

Like Virgin, but not. Brilliant! *tosses you a cold Newcastle*

I'm strongly leaning toward Hoopty Air, or Donk Jet as an alternative

 

[Smoke Toliet]

Jetlink for the name, Acey for the call-sign

"Nexus" does have a certain appeal and it is symbolic to our mission. I like it.

Nexus? Like the phone or the radio? I think that's a bit overused.

And what, in your opinion, is "Our Mission?" And please don't regurgitate that corporate marketing PC nonsense.

How about SkyWest Airlines?

Your Mission: To Undercut other Delta Affiliates. That is every Delta regional's mission.

So management thinks we are our own brand. Anyone else see a MASSIVE problem with this? Super Regional? Really, Mr. Holt? We can't even get out of the gate half the time. I really wonder what is happening here. 350+ outmoded junk jets and somehow "SureJet" is going to save the day and fix everything. I'm really worried about what transpired here in the last couple of days.

What about Atlantic Airlines/Airways. The only problem with that might be confusion operating in/out of Atlanta. How about Atlantic with a jetlink callsign?
