Vidar 710 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's a modified U.S. Airways flag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just heard on the news last weeks that American and US Air were going to merge? Is that true? Then there will be a new livery, anyway, or the new scheme is the merged livery already. If it is the latter, then the new scheme makes sense! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robert61267 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 http://blog.apex.aero/inflight-services-2/american-responds-to-criticism-over-new-livery-says-it-is-not-rethinking-the-design/ AA management is totally tone deaf. It seems that the flying public is, at best, lukewarm about this livery, so what does AA management do? It claims that the flying public just doesn't get it. Typical. That's part of the attitude that got AA into takeover territory in the first place. Okay, rant mode off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It's not growing on me. Actually it's growing more like an ingrown toe nail. If that fuselage is supposed to be some kind of pearlescent/metallic silver-grey, somebody messed up the paint. Looks pretty much like battleship gray to me. Still "blech" to my eye.

Vidar 710 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Been here at the American Flight Academy the passed 2 weeks going through recurrent ground and upgrade training. A classmate came up with adding white A's in the blue and red fields above and below the Eagle head. Actually looks purdy kewel. The tail though has still got to GO!

Bri2k Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Yuk. It looks like it was designed by a grade-school art class. The only thing that stands out about the new livery is its striking blandness. Google American Airlines livery and you'll see that every alternative is better than what they went with. This site has some nice ideas. They should've gotten Jennings on the job! Bri2k P.S. Here's my favorite: It keeps the colors and the stylized eagle yet pays homage to U.S. Airways at the same time and sure is eye-catching. I would've flipped the eagle around so it's facing forward though. Edited February 24, 2013 by Bri2k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janvolekcz Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'll add my $.02. I was browsing for images of a310s and noticed this Aeroflot scheme from 20 years ago. I guess now we know where American got its idea. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Aeroflot/Airbus-A310-308-ET/2166210/&sid=37c1df17552427e8c115bc17fbc3706c Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does look for a few seconds just like the Aeroflot scheme and that scheme didn't last too long... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone's in deep shizit when he does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
