Serious Alternatives to SureJet

[mxaviator]

I just want to log in and see my schedule. And I'm fine with JetLink or ExpressJet with the "Acey" callsign.

Atlantic Express airlines. Same logo and Express call sign

 

[Oakum_Boy]

No more tongue twisters please. "Atlantic Express Airlines". Say that five times.

Nothing jet, or nothing express. ExpressJet, however, is strong.

 

[badog]

Whatever gives the airline a positive brand recognition, (Expressjet)
Jetlink call sign is better than acey
Just keep expressjet and jetlink Easy enough sheeze I don't think the noodling hicks in atl care what ya call 'em as long as you don't call 'em late for fried catfish dinner...... HAHaha

AtlanticJet... Combines the names of the Companies... Some say too geographically limiting, but I don't think so.

No more geographically limiting than say.... Southwest.

 

[flyr]

ExpressJet.... Keep the ASA logo plane and and replace Surejet font with Expressjet. Callsign 'acey'. That way we can please the majority of the pilots.

JetLink is good, too

I really don't mind ExpressJet either. And after all this CityJet still sounds good!

Hi everyone!!

This is my first post, but has anyone thought that maybe this is what the company intended. They shot real low for a disappointing name only to come back and change it to "CityJet" to make us all happy?

I think we are ALL grasping for straws to explain the incredible ineptitude of this management.

We keep thinking SURELY they can't be THIS stupid. SURELY there has to be a real plan.

Your theory is the only one that involves them having ANY semblance of reason.

Problem is, do you think Brad and co. have the stones to deliberately fall on their sword just to make us feel good?

 

[ParrotheadGTI]

+1 for Atlantic Jet, and Atlantic Express

 

[ChopNDrop]

Good point COOPERVANE!

Did anyone catch the kid on stage correcting KM after the name change? KM asked a kid to come pull raffle tickets. She asked him who works for Atlantic Southeast in his family. Kid corrects her by saying, "Uh, don't you mean Surejet?"

MESA?

I agree. There seems to be a lot that want Atlantic Express or Atlantic Jet. That doesn't sound "super regional", flying to all 50 states at all.

 

[J bar]

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

 

[Metro752]

FUPMjet

 

[Clutch]

FUPMjet

You mean FUPAjet

 

[Metro752]

No I really really mean ******************** you pay me.

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*

 

[TOOL CRIB]

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

 

[Smoke Toliet]

Jetlink for the name, Acey for the call-sign

 

[wickedpilot]

"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.

 

[ehaecker]

How about SkyWest Airlines?

 

[Metro752]

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?
