AA New Paint

[spoolinup22]

Seems a bit European, but I like it!

Not bad. It looks a little Russian to me. Im surprised they got rid of the eagle.

It's missing a stripe down the side.

Exactly, you would think they would keep the color in the sequence of red white and blue near the door area. Ok, Im nit picking

I miss the eagle and the waterline stripe. Wonder if its merely a neutral livery when the merger is finalized?

Is getting a new paint job a rite of passage for airlines exiting bankruptcy? I always though it was hypocritical, you don't have the money to pay your creditors but you have the money to change your paint scheme. Also it seems that is the only time the scheme changes.

I'm totally underwhelmed by it.

I can't say that I hate it, but I sure don't like it.

An AA logo without a chicken (eagle) is like a cheeseburger without a pickle.

Sure. Look for a uniform change next.

IMO, the logo looks great, the tail...not so much. In fact, I'd say downright ugly. There are a lot of much cooler designs they could have gone with.

The flag on the back is a bit too much as well for me.

I'm digging the logo, could have gone a bit more Eagle on it though. The tail is a bit loud, but I like the statement they're making. Only things I'd add is a cheatline and the new logo on the winglets.

Maybe they should've gone with this?

Could you photoshop a current AA bird with the Airways flag on the tail? Might look ok...

I didn't do that...I just steal pictures from other people and take implied credit for them

Anything is better than the United leasing Continental planes branding disaster. Jeez that is ugly.

I think the eagle is still there, just changed somewhat. The silver fold over the red and blue near the door looks like the head. My thought is that if it isn't broken, don't fix it. The logo went from classy to cheesy. I think the statement from the pilot union pretty much sums it up:

“A new paint job is fine but it does not fix American’s network deficiencies and toxic culture, so we continue our steadfast support of a merger with US Airways and not doubling down on the network strategy that brought us into bankruptcy.

“American’s network needs more than cosmetic changes to compete with Delta and United, simply put, it needs to merge with US Airways now.”

I kind of liked this one some anet nerd created.
