?This is the "new" United/Continental livery. HUH??? The Continental
colors
and paint job are pretty enough but slapping United on the fuselage and
calling it a day is just LAZY. Couldn't they have at least used a
different
font/color/logo for the UNITED part of it?

Has anyone seen the Delta / NorthWest colors? Anything new or different
there?

Who else is merging? Any new paint jobs?


Think this is the quickest way for Untied to get their name on the
Continental birds after the merger. Bet they will get the full United
treatment as they go in for major servicing.

With the Delta/Northwest merger, Delta is the name that sticks. I'm
seeing quite a few NW aircraft repainted in full Delta colors already.


Hi Bob! I was under the impression that the Continental colors were going to
be kept and that just the UNITED name was going to be used as the name of
the new airline.


Have I mentioned I tend to mumble on without sufficient facts? ;^}

As for Delta/NW.... I believe that all of the aircraft are going to Delta
colors. No name change or anything. NorthWest is going to be absorbed.


Just judging by traffic I see heading into SEA, they appear to fairly
aggressively repainting the NW fleet. Another one bites the dust...
