Not need to get ugly just asking a REAL question about the DAL contract.

I have no idea what the DAL contract says. As far as I'm concerned mesa (notice the lower-case) and JO can get bent.

OK...I'll revise my post to mean primarily larger transport aircraft. Like the 737, MD-80, 757 or A-320.

You tell me why none of these aircraft have "white or grey stuff" on the wings?

The 737 I used to fly had grey wings as do most large airliners. Also, the E145 has grey wings.

Jobear,

Yeah, I guess the smiley face meant nothing? Don't be so surprised if you evoke some anger - Ornstein, your boss, is not well liked on this forum...

I think the painted wings would really make it stand out. Especially when seen from the air.

When will the ACA contract expire with UAL?


Bye Bye--General Lee

Who's been sniffing paint fumes?

I recall once reading that AA aircraft, by not having paint, save about $250,000 per year per aircraft (less fuel burn carrying that extra weight, less MX to repaint, etc)

Oh, and the reason allot of wings look grey is b/c they have oxidzied some (just like AA aircraft, some look dull grey-ish b/c they haven't been polished recently. I think leading edges are sortta' 'polished' by the microscopic crud that constantly batters them, and of course they don't get painted due to the anti-ice issues). I wonder if the wings flight controls (ailerons) have to be pre-painted in production to properly balance them (like rudders have to be hung pre-painted at the Boeing factory)

So, as long as we're talking paint - when they painted the Concorde in the Pepsi paint scheme, they actually had to fly at less than mach 2 b/c the aircraft skin would heat up too much due to the dark blue 'colour'

As far as the 'see and be seen' concept goes, I don't think they could have picked two worse colors than light blue and white, but I don't think a pilot picked those as much as a hired-gun marketing guru.

I do not Now nor have I ever worked for JO or mesa; more than one regional in the US flys Beech1900's.
trying to distance myself from :
"Jobear,

All I can say is EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwww!

PWA says no!

Mesa owns 90 seat RJ's and DALPA's contract prohibits this. Mesa wont even be considered (thank God!).
