You ever seen the face of a passenger in IAH when they're boarding into one of those color-less monstrosities? I've deadheaded in them a couple of times, and it's pretty comical! At that point they're not even sure who they're flying on, and you hear them in the back "I thought I bought a ticket on Continental?". Pretty humorous! I blame your ceo, not you or your pilot group.
RAH is not the only regional that does this.
I've non-rev'd several times on Skywest in their "Pepsi Can" paint scheme on a United Express flight. The pax couldn't figure out what was going on.
