looks utterly disgusting - cheap and tacky... or a cut and paste job
United without their tulip is just not united at all The United States have just lost what is a good carrier in CO Last edited by D Chan; 3rd May 2010 at 10:48 PM. |

Below is the message we all got from Mr. Tilton today. I will also post the various other internal notices that we get so that you are all "up to date" with the internal happenings associated with the merger. Looks like our aircrft painting team is going to be busy yet again changing colors/logos etc....and also you folks with your cameras etc as our newly painted aircraft start making their first appearances in Oz probably early next year. Lots of work still to be done before this merger actually happens...but this is a very good day for those of us that have dealt with a lot of sh-t from this company for many many years.

The most important piece of this whole merger is how our unions will be involved...with out that agreement there will be no merger. That said, we already have a memorandum of understanding in place between our two pilot groups and Continental has recently rejoined ALPA which paves the way for a orderly and harmonious transition into what will be probably the largest pilot group in the country...possibly the world. I'm posting this morning's announcement from our union leadership team since it directly relates to the working relationship that already exists and the spirit of the negotiations that will take place in the near future.

That livery isn't very exciting - the CO livery looks nice but surely they could have come up with something better than that.

Always been a fan of the Continental livery, so kinda glad they're keeping it. I know it's a bit cheap to just whack 'United' on there but it'll keep costs down - I guess?
Be good to see them here in Sydney. Speculation on other forums is what will happen with the recent Airbus orders from United (since Continental is a Boeing strong fleet). Dan

I for one like the new livery. It shows that the deal is a true merger in my opinion. By keeping the Continental livery and replacing "Continental" with "United" in Continental's current font, both airlines to some extent retain some identity.
This contrasts with the recent Delta/Northwest merger, where all branding switched over to Delta entirely.

with united having 55 percent ownership as to continental having 45 you would think united would have more than just their name on the plane. |

It's a merger not a take over, so there has to be give and take even if one partner has a greater share.
