American and US Airways Employees Have Spoken: The Flag Tail Stays
On Thursday, American announced that the employees have spoken, and the new flag tail is here to stay. “It was very close but the majority has spoken and the new flag tail will proudly represent American Airlines – and all of us – for years to come.” (airchive.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Has anyone noticed that on at least one A380 the flag is backwards? In other words, it doesn't 'wave'' aft....
While we're all familiar with the old AA livery, it's almost fifty years old. Airlines seem to get a makeover every decade or so, except AA -- their old livery is really familiar but had they evolved it through the years I don't think we'd be talking about it now. Because other liveries tend to evolve through the years they get their symbols that you can recognize from one generation to the next. But with AA, it's just been what it's been for so long without a facelift that this dramatic of a change is kind of necessary if they're ever going to change it.
The flag tail is so so in my opinion, but it would have looked much better if they had not ccontinued it down to the fuselage. If they had just left it on the tail then it would be fine, but by stretching it all the way down the fuselage to where the rear exit door is was a bit much.
I don't think most people would have given it a second thought had someone not started the controversy! I think it looks pretty cool! (on a totally unrelated point...can we PLEASE do away with LOL in 2014 and forever?!?!)
The last attempt to do away with that acronym hit a SNAFU and went FUBAR.
Until there is a universally recognized sarcasm font, I think we'll have to live with it.
