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...

Bob ^,,^



Too bad. Some of the later versions of the NorthWest colors were quite
pretty. Still, the new Delta colors aren't too bad either.

To quote from World Airline News:
Officially on October 1, 2010 Continental and United Airlines (Chicago)
will be merged as "equals" although the United name will survive. Oddly
CO's 1991 livery will live on as the merged airline's color scheme.
Although the United name will survive, many observers are lamenting the
loss of this sharp-looking scheme for United Airlines which was
introduced in 2004 and will now be retired. This merger will also end the
long reign of the "U" logo which was first introduced in 1974 in another
form.

Farewell, U... (and before)



I rather liked the current United colors. Then again, the current
Continental colors are pretty too. I just hate the idea of slapping on
UNITED on the aircraft and calling it a day. They really ought to have done
something with a logo or a different font and color for the UNITED text. It
would have made a huge difference.

Seems I heard they went out of business a few years ago.

That is pretty neat. I don't know much about VASP at all. It seems they
were a South American/Brazilian carrier. Are they even around any longer?

I welcome change. But I prefer bills.
