Just my opinion
I actually kind of like it. Call me crazy if you will but I do.

Like I said, I'm not flying them so it really doesn't matter what I think...and what I think is that it is a horrible scheme. This is not a bash on XJT, its pilots, or its future business plans. I have friends at XJT and I wish you nothing but great success in your new branded venture.

That said, I strongly believe Stevie Wonder could have designed a better-looking livery...

I personally don't like it. Particularly the green.

I like the fact they brought back the old school paint job, now if they only bring back the old school flight attendants.......click your mic if you agree(just type click click)

*CLICK* *CLICK*

I wish...I only wish that it was like that again. To be honest, it kind of seems like there are a few new ones coming aboard now. It's getting a little bit better.

it is interesting that when people at the company looked at the drawings almost everyone hated it at first. Now that they have painted the aircraft, about 70 - 75% or so like it. The ones that like it think it looks great and love it and the ones that don't can't stop talking about how ugly it is... That tells me it catches the eye and I think in the end thats what the company wants. One thing is for sure; it grows on people...

Oh yeah, and I think it looks great...

Click, Click! But please don't let it be the girls in the picture. They're probably about 70 years old now. Actually my mom was a FA in the 60’s and I think she’s in there.

I think that XJT could have created a better scheme. If it was up to me, I understand it wasn't, I would have created an employee contest to design the paint scheme. I don't know what the prize would have been, other than being able to say "that's my scheme," but I'm sure XJT could have figured something out.

Good luck XJTrs in your branded flying. I’m looking forward to seeing the scheme grow old and fade (meaning I hope it has a great future).

How about an automatic upgrade to Capt regardless of seniority
