    The new US scheme has actually grown on me. Seems to look nice on all their aircraft - both large and small.

    I agree the old scheme was sharp though.. provided it was kept clean and shiny.

    Not great, the navy was something distinctive, this looks common but then again, it's all about saving money and a mostly-white livery is cost effective.

    I like this scheme a lot - it looks very classy. Of course, with JetBlue, AirTran, and US all going to dark bottoms in their new schemes, it takes a little more work trying to sort them out while OTTing.

    Uploaded to A.net, it's been in the queue untouched for 24 hours even though it was marked Priority and obviously within the '24 hour' limit after the first shots got up.

    Wouldn't it be more cost effective to not repaint the entire fleet at all? Or they could go 'Alitalia' and not change the scheme for forty-some years. :P

    Not the way we fly in the desert. It would heat the cabin etc way too much in the summer. I love the new livery on the 330 personally but I really cannot wait for my beloved DASH-8.
