What if?

Yeah, and ATA would still be around if the "palm tree" paint scheme was still around.

OK, there were a couple B757's that still had it, but it's still a ridiculous supposition. It didn't keep Braniff around either.

Why don't ailines sell space on their big airplanes for advertisment? Look that 767 looks like it flies for NASCAR!

Skybus tried it, and it worked out for them! Oh, wait...

Cool avatar, which model of the Merkava is that?

I've always liked the Saudi Airline's paint job and logo, right down to the double scimitars crossing each on the vertical stab. Kind of reminds me of their judicial system.

From a distance it looks kind of like a skull and crossed bones...

How about the Mexican airline with an aztec on the tail but it resembles Beavis.

They started with ugly '71, changed to f-ugly in '01, and have been profitable ever since.

Schrew yew Trebec.

No they haven't. They had those gay stripes back then...

Actually it's not that dumb of a post. I was thinking about this the other day while sitting in CVG. CAL has had their paint job since 90-91. It works. Delta has painted their aircraft and changed their logo 3 times in that same period of time. How much does it cost to change equipment logos, aircraft paint, jetway bridge logos, various airport logos in the interior, company stationary, uniforms, etc, etc... How much money do these companies have to waste on rediculous things. Just pick a damn paint job and stick with it! The original widget was perfect.

AA has had the same colors for at least the last 20 years.

This kind of reminds me of the SNL skit about Mr. Potato Head Michael Jackson. I like the black one with the real African-American nose!
