Judging by the comments preceding yours, it's pretty clear there are a lot of poeple who don't. While I personally would have preferred that America West kept its livery (even while adopting the US Airways name), the new US Airways logo just didn't seem as jarringly abstract as this new AA scheme. No accounting for taste, I guess.
The new livery looks great saw the A/C in ORD yesterday even better looking up close. Still miss the original polished Alum imagine the added weight with all this paint..... I'll enjoy flying the new Livery it'll grow on me
I wonder how much it cost in $, and man/hours....after one or two Layers of paint, the lettering appears, then it's painted over, then it reappears, wow...not your typical paint job!
While I loved the iconic AA logo, they had to do something different. With the new composite materials, the shiny silver body wasn't possible, and they couldn't replicate by using silver paint. No matter what livery they use, the service has to exceed the expectation.
We understand that with composite bodies, the shiny look wasn't attainable, but why change the overall look? US Airways didn't incorporate any of America West's livery, even though America West is what saved US. A glossy gray with the same red-white-and-blue stripes along the fuselage and the same tail logo would have nicely preserved the iconic and historic look.
Time Lapse Video: US Airways A319 Joining American Airlines
From one flag on the tail to another, we get to see the transformation of an US Airways Airbus A319 from their livery to the new American Airlines livery. Now, are there still people out there who don’t like the new American livery?
