Personally, I don't think ANY Merger 'Talk' had anything to do with repainting of the fleet. It costs a lot of money to REMOVE the airplane out of the schedule, juggle the rest of the fleet around to Cover the schedule AND pay the vendor to complete the job. With a merger comes BRANDING.........US did a Quick Job of repainting the AWA fleet but unless the old US Blue is actually in dire need of a Makeover, it isn't critical to complete at this point. Delta is doing a VERY AGGRESSIVE Paint schedule because they need to eliminate the NWA brand since for all intents and purposes it doesn't exist anymore. Unlike the combined DL/NWA operation, US doesn't have as many spare airplanes to juggle around to make the REPAINTING a Priority.
"But Child they Are...........right down to the threads used in the Stan Herman Track Suits!"
Are those the ugliest rags sewn together or what........
Please....the whole damn thing. I still remember my other half saying as I pulled each piece out of the box, "What on earth is THAT"? aaaaahahahaha"But Child they Are...........right down to the threads used in the Stan Herman Track Suits!"
I think I'll stay away from the "positive" thread. Ya know, being Debby Downer and all.
"But Child they Are...........right down to the threads used in the Stan Herman Track Suits!"
I know..........the list is ENDLESS. The track suits need TO GO! No excuse for the lack of a widebody NOT sporting the STAR Livery (big, wide F/A's wearing a STAR logo pin don't countPlease....the whole damn thing. I still remember my other half saying as I pulled each piece out of the box, "What on earth is THAT"? aaaaahahahaha
Oh and as for the 767/A330, I still don't understand why they didn't paint a widebody that goes to Europe in the Star livery. EVERY other airline that has a widebody has a Star plane. Nope not Mayburry Airlines.
). never a dull moment........
Not that anyone asked, nor do I care whether You agree, but FIVE Years later still not a fan of the swoosh and striped tail.....just don't find it appealing. Somehow misses the mark......rather amateurish in my book. I did think the former USBlue (many thought it was black) was much more classic and really stood out on an airfield or in the sky, but can understand the need to whitewash a DESERT Dwelling airline due to excessive heat and the Sun. Now the employee patronizing "Heritage Fleet"........call it A Day and REPAINT- never liked it from Day One and as Time goes On, Meaningless to Most. Like I stated at the beginning, It's My opinion and You'll Never Change It. I think STARBUCKS Coffee sucks and wouldn't drink it if my life depended on it. Some of you think it's the greatest crap brewed. It's your money, your stomach and I could care less.
