blues deville Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Black suits look good. Reminds me of what we had at C3. Got to work on those hats though. Why the name across the brow? That's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaEH Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Wow that's a horrible change. Thumbs down for me. I like the current color scheme a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I know older planes need a re-paint but this version is a step backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudder Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Black pilot uniforms are fine. Double breasted tunic is classic. Not sure about the way the name appears on the hat..... Paint job? I do not see black as a particularly iconic colour for AC. It is a bit of a throwback to the 70's but I would have stuck with white on red or red on white tail.

Guest Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 but the colour scheme (dark belly, tail and pods) lives on. Only thing missing is the red stripe. Of course it is hard to achieve an unique paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Silly FO. I think stylist on the photo shoot added the Captain's fourth stripe to the wrong side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 1 hour ago, seeker said: For a second, I thought these were the old uniforms from the 90's. Double breasted!? How many pleats do the pants come with? Re: the livery, it looks like they took the best of all the various Delta livery iterations, changed the colour to black and added the Air Canada logos.

dagger Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm not moved either way. I remember when the toothpaste green was revealed a decade ago and it was widely detested. People got used to it, started to like it, etc etc. Happens with almost every new livery at every airline launched since Kitty Hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 One thing about the paint job is that most passengers could care less how the aircraft is painted on the outside. It is the interior that counts and that can be ignored if the service is good. My experience flying on AC (revenue) is that the onboard service is generally very good.

Super 80 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I don't care for the new livery, I would just look at it and think it's temporary decals on a seasonal sublease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wonder what the cost will be to achieve that envious look? When I'm parked at some far away place and look down at a row of aircraft, the only one that currently stands out from the rest without fail is AC. Partly because it's nice to see something from home but also because of the unique appearance. Now it will blend nicely with everyone else.

rudder Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Current paint is post-CCAA livery and is directly tied to the RM era. I am certain that part of the CR legacy is the livery change that will last the next 10-15 years. Every CEO wants to leave their stamp on the company in many different ways.

There's probably a lot of true to that! The current scheme was RM's and the challenge was to be unique and unlike anything else flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
