Spirit's New Paint Scheme: Not Good

[FLYBOYMATTHEW]

Perhaps if they were armed with facts they wouldn't have to speculate so much.

Coming from an airline with small furry woodland creatures on it's tail?

Well, the furries are distinctive. It's engendered remarkable brand awareness in our markets, but that's neither here nor there.

I really liked both digital schemes, I hate to see y'all abandom them. The new scheme reminds me of another lackluster livery: UK tour operator First Choice.

...I think this is getting a little too close to the "Acid Trip at a Pinata Factory" livery...

That's awesome.

That is very true........they will get that soon in FLL.

 

[Kharma Police]

looks like ATA, maybe a merger is Coming? You heard it first here

Didn't ATA just merge with World Airways and North American to form Global Aero Logistics? Looks like they locked up the military charters.

Facts Like?
No more base reduction until December. Oh wait.... two days later thaey reduced the DTW base ten more?

Texas and California Bases?

8. Are there plans to have bases in Texas and southern California in the future?
Per Jeff, the company has a “five-year plan,” but no answer was given. Mr. Carlson would neither confirm nor deny that new bases were planned, just that there is a plan

17,000 flight hours a month??? Out of FLL only? Come on dude we have all been "down" there. Where are that many people going to go to the bathroom? Sbarro pizza fountain soda machine? OH wait those have been broke for 3 months.

Facts, WHERE are there any facts at Spirit?

Weak pilot group YES because of stupid "us and them" comments like this from Fly boy.

I am out

 

[Shrek]

I agree, there is no way they can do all of this growth from FLL alone......I expect another base opening before DEC.

Sbarro fountain machines will never be turned on again. Apparently the owner was eating lunch there and saw several workers (probably Menzies professionals) filling up their cups (that they brought themselves) full of soda and the decision was made right then and there to not use fountain machines.

Does Flyboy even work for us?

DTW is done - slowly but surely in my opinion.

Facts, WHERE are there any facts at Spirit?

I wouldn't get so worked up...I think thats what fboymatts' point was. No facts hence nothing left to do but speculate.

 

[Shrek]

The last people to know the plans are usually the pilots..........

 

[Bighorn]

Sorry to get worked up but, I cannot stand this us and them S*^T. It is exactly what BB and his Harrison Henchmen want.

I am 100% behind that statement. Contract negotiations is our KEY priority right now.

In Unity.

FUGLY!!!!!! nothing else to say!!!!

FUGLY!!!!!! nothing else to say!!!!

Stop talkin about your sister like that......that aint right.

The tail has got modern, vibrant colors, ala 'HGTV' style. They have a major presence in S. Florida, where those colors are happening, and in the Caribbean. So what's the big deal? It fits their clientèle and region where they fly better. The old scheme was so late 1990's ish, made me dizzy looking at it. Silver paint is expensive and that's a taping job nightmare.

I give 'em a A.

You're right about the paint scheme fitting in with the Caribbean clientele.

I don't think that expense is the issue with the current paint scheme. You see, the business grey paint is supposed to last 8 years, while the cheap Caribbean theme might not even last 4. The titanium grey paint cost more, but lasted much longer.

I don't really care about the color, but I hate it when management tries snow me about the reason.

Stand up to the MANagement!
