Now that's some canary yellow

I dislike ours less now.

 

[LearLove]

The wheels on the bus go round and round....

 

[Mercyful Fate]

Love it.

 

[Kharma Police]

I like it, it's high visibility yellow for safety like Hughes Airwest!

Am I the only one who likes our new paint at SWA? I think it looks pretty sharp.

Now that I've seen it in person it's not too bad! The pictures didn't do it justice

For the millions they are spending, it could have easily been better. I'm not sure what the GO was thinking...

But Spirit does make ours look better, unfortunately for both of us.

Yes, you are the only one.

 

[waveflyer]

It is much better in person
The tail doesn't dominate like a lot of the pictures

The Bright Yellow is a failure, combined with sh*t canning the Red Belly and some goofy heart.... they can Own It as far as I'm concerned.

I'd say the numbers are <20% of anyone actually liking it.

They're thanking you for your contribution of bringing the industry into the toilet.
Looks like they have one more good flush in em!

I saw our new paint at DAL the other day. It is much better in person and I like it. I guess that puts me in the top 20%.

The Spirit paint scheme is just school bus ugly!

Phred

I saw it person in Vegas. I agree, the pictures didn't do it justice. I like it.

I like it! Very distinctive and it reminds me too of the old Hughes Airwest airplanes... It's nostalgic.

Look its a giant highlighter!

 

[humveedriver]

Every post 9/11 livery change has sucked with the exception of Sun Country. The last livery change was an improvement. I thought JetBlue did it right by mixing up the pattern on the tail.

 

[Dornier 335]

Reminds me of HLX out of Germany, call sign "Yellow Cab".

 

[Daytonaflyer]

Very smart move. It's just what Spirit management is going for, brand recognition and free publicity. Everyone who sees those airplanes will have an opinion about them, and they will remember the name of the airline who flies the bright yellow planes.

 

[waveflyer]

I was thinking that too

For what spirit is and with ads like this:

It's about right
Whatever makes them money so they can keep getting raises like they have

 

[SAABaroowski]

I like it. It's bright yellow, what's not to like? SWA "new" scheme if that's what you want to call is nice except maybe the font. I like the heart though. frontiers new scheme is nice as well.

NBC nightly news ran a piece on our (Spirit) yellow paint, so it's working already.

 

[Bringupthebird]

For some reason, when I look at it I'm compelled to look up a phone number

 

[XTW]

The real "Short Bus"!

 

[Flycatcher99]

Why did they stop there? They should have painted some big goggles around the windshields and a goofy smile and some hairs on the top and made it a big Minion.

 

[Jetjockey]

Taxi!
