Change in Livery
 

Looks like they are considering changing the livery again….

Survey is up on Wings/Jetnet.

So your choices are:

That horrible flag thing, or...
Two different logos, and a somewhat difficult to read "American" on an otherwise completely gray fuselage.

What??

So provide two horrible choices with the current flag scheme only being slightly better and then declare victory that they've given the people what they want.

The AA on the tail, although once great on the original paint job, just does not work with the rest of the new fuselage paint and font.

Btw, it will probably change again in 5-10 years.

I like the proposed one better. The flag logo doesn't work for me.

What about this?

For the record my vote is to keep the flag, the proposed one looks boring.

Between the two, I'd vote for the classic 'AA', but only because it is instantly recognizable. The new mish mash looking flag still doesn't look good to me. With that said, the 'AA' doesn't mesh that well with the new 'eagle' logo.

That's an interesting idea for the tail but made me immediately think of Air France's paint scheme.

I'm not savvy enough to put together what it would look like. But I think it might look ok to use the current US Airways tail on the bird. It would be a lot like the way United merged their livery, but with more compatible logos. It's still a flag, but with the heritage that Parker likes to preserve.

Its not a flag. Its the depth gauge for the New York City river system.
