So you go with a pastel paint scheme that looks like it was designed by a 3rd grader with a 28 pack of Crayolas?

Its tacky, man...but I don't fly 'em so it doesn't matter. That doesn't mean I won't say "Geebus look at that abortion of a paint scheme" if I see one on a ramp somewhere.

I like it. It has a modern look to it and it stands out. Ever heard of Southwest airlines boiler? Worked for them.

Please, please, please do not compare Canyon Blue to battleship grey, teal and orange.

There is no comparison.

I think freightpusher was referring to the Desert Drab that SWA sported for 25+ years. Even thought most people hated it it became iconic.

Well heres the deal boss, It XJET pilots flying XJET airplanes. It looks a shizzle load better than the current paint scheme with "Operated by Chq airlines" On the side. But the other bright side is you can continue to fly an airplane with another companys paint job on it. Simple as that. I dont care what paint job it has on it as long as its our pilots flying them.
Just my opinion

looks great. Orange is a great touch. The retro-ish look is cool. Better than most boring paint jobs.
adios
