New Livery
#37
Over the last 30 years or so, this industry has lurched forward and spasmed back repeatedly. In general, as the economy goes, so goes the airline. New team$ come in to fix thi$ and that, but they are $eldom $ucce$$ful. They are however, lavi$hly rewarded for their effort$ They usually just shuffle the chairs on the deck while they foist up endlessly exciting and fascinating campaigns, slogans, and promises. That they often repeat the mistakes made a decade earlier at other carriers is unimportant. They trot out new paint, new uniforms, new slogans and often, new policies which nearly always seem to come at the expense of the worker bees.
Meanwhile, we get to see the sausage being made from the big window seat and wonder why fixing the obvious is usually ignored while the beatings continue. (Apparently, there are no air conditioning repairmen in Houston. )
Apathy is difficult to overcome, even after $misek$ departure. And new paint and uniforms are hard to get excited about as they shrink the seats, legroom, and work rules. Oscar has been handed a golden opportunity. Only time will tell if we should really get excited.
Turn it up. Way up.

Ok I’ve been doing this for 4 decades, almost exclusively Boeings, and for the life of me, unless I opened the window could not see the “nose” for a “nose check.”
Personally I think it was an idea made up by some 83’ managers so they wouldn’t have to go back in the cabin and actually check the wings for contamination.
But who am I to say some can actually see the nose of a Boeing jet from the pilot seat.
What a great way to redirect this thread.
When I was young we were shocked by the Oakland As and their revolutionary uniform. Rebranded baseball entirely.
