In IAD there is an ASA RJ running around with an accidental "new ual" livery. It had a blank blue tail, but the body was clearly a previous CAL connection RJ with the yellow line and dark grey underbody.

That 73 looks ugly. I have never been fond of the CAL livery.

I'm just glad they found the shift key.

Very soon. You'll also be getting free domestic upgrades on United soon if your status is high enough.

Supposedly Skywest is going to be the first UAX carrier to roll out with these colors in the next few days. Other than that 737, there are 2 other aircraft in the new colors at VCV right now. Hopefully pics will be up soon.

And I agree, the titles pretty much remind me of this:

Whats so bad about the Death Star?

I find it intimidates the rebel bases when I fly to different star systems.

Also here is an xjt 145XR with the new paint, posted earlier today.

Hate it. I was actually a big fan of United's current livery.

The United tail was nice....Continental tail is boring and is in no way related to the airline....And if they're calling it United, why is the livery the exact same as the Continental except for the small name on the side?:dunno:

 

[Vector4Food]

What callsign is in use?

 

[Buzo]

What callsign is in use?

They will both continue to use their existing call signs. We used the Northwest callsign until January 2010, and our merger closed in October of 2008.

 

[CaptBill]

What callsign is in use?

When flying planes with the new United Livery Paint, Continental pilots will say: "Continental 234 in United Livery, request taxi"

That's what I hear.....

 

[OldTownPilot]

I can't wait until there is a United airplane in EWR or IAH with a globe tail.

Follow the united....er ... that contental looking plane, oh wait they all look like Continental.....Awwww effet stay right there until someone else comes by.

 

[motormadness24]

They have to wait until they get SOC to change the call signs I'm pretty sure.
