World Airways 747-400 Pic

[bigsky]

The retro paint job was done to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the baby lift and we used that ac to take a bunch of Vietnamese refugees back there for a reunion......
We had a company wide vote on our new paint scheme....everyone I talked to in my straw poll voted for the red paint scheme.....somehow the blue one won by hundreds of votes....I guess management not only gets millions in stock but also more votes

That is a sharp looking cargo jet!

The arrogance of some in brown is amazing. By the grace of God go I is a good policy where the health of your job is concerned in the airline business. One day on top and the next day gone the way of the Do-Do.

I can't speak for Clyde. I hope he was being sarcastic and joking around, but I'm not sure. Most of us at UPS don't feel this way. Good luck to you guys and the new a/c.

By the way, it does look good!

Thanks and I hope you're right as I am confident most at Big Brown do not feel this way. I have had a few adult beverages with your crews at F street and a few other haunts and most were real gentleman. We are living in interesting times so good luck to us all may be in order.....

It is practically the same paint scheme. Perhaps Clyde didn't mean it in the way you interpreted....perhaps.

You have to admit, World seems to have an identity crisis when it comes to paint schemes.

Personally, I like the vintage red stripe scheme.

I could not agree more about the paint identity crisis and I hope you're right about Clyde. Either way its all good, after all this is an internet forum and should not be taken too seriously. We all have noticed how similar the paint scheme is to UPS and it is not what the group voted for based on straw polls. The winning paint was the retro livery scheme but our very honest management types (oops did I just vomit in my mouth) said other wise.

The next round is me this chicken sh*t has already turned into too much typing.

I'm holding you to it. See you in LEJ.

The BIG RON is without a doubt a plus considering the market. I just had a good bud get his job offer revoked from the United ******************** Pool.
The PAX carrier are NOT the place to be. For all of playing the "major" "poke and hope". Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and of course blueskiesandtlwds;-)

Found a great cider at the new Irish Pub across from Bricks. The owner was real nice and enjoyed our presence.

I will be in the Pacific so see you in May........

I think you might be right; the paint schemes on our airplanes are very similar as far as location of the stripes, etc.

Either way, I looked at few previous posts by Clyde and I don't think he's one of us (UPS) but I'm not sure.

I got several friends at World myself and want them (and other World pilots) to be happy with their job just the way my friends want me (& my airline) to be successful.

Back to the topic - great paint job!

... I just had a good bud get his job offer revoked from the United ******************** Pool...

You mean his class was cancelled, correct? I mean how can they cancel his pool "slot"? Too bad for your friend for sure...

I'll be the one in the corner at Leos with the big glass of German beer hitting on the "die Frau(en)".

Do you guys already have a contract for it? If so, where will it be flying?

 

[bigsky]

As far as flying , we have rumors only.....Nothing has been announced.
