CAL employees can go to COAIR and vote on their choice for a retro paint scheme on an upcoming B737-900 delivery.

Choices are:

"Blue Skyway" which looks similar to the CAL DC-3.

"Thunderbird" which is very similar to above but also includes a gold star on the tail.

"Golden Jet" reminiscent of the 60's era paint scheme.

"Contrails" which is the red/orange/white "meatball" scheme CAL had from the early 60's until Gordo took the reins.

Go to All About Me and then MyOpinion...got until the 19th.
 
I went with the golden jet. Much better time when Bob Six was around.
 
Contrails for sure.
 
Contrails for sure.

I'm not sure I'd want my jet painted in the same livery that was sported durring my company's darkest days. No offense, but I think that scheme is indicative of the scabs that still work there, unfortunately.........
 
Yikes, just leave the new sceme. I don't think Continental has ever had a nice livery.

Golden Jet if I had to choose.
 
Jeez, I'm glad that Continental is paying all this money for a stupid new/old scab retro paintjob, but doesn't pay health benefits to new hires. LOL Not to mention the crappy agreement they got from XJT.

It's pretty funny that CAL pilots are actually voting for this when their contract is soooo bad. I know most of you CAL guys aren't very smart, LOL, understatement, but I'd tell CAL to shove it up there butts with this survey until the contract is signed??

Oh well. Some things never change. LOL
 
It is a new aircraft so they have to paint it anyway so they decided to paint one in a retro color.
 
Can someone tell Delta to do a retro?..the lastest paint is extremely BORING.
