First a big thank you to Jeremy for snagging the first shot and for the success it's having, now for my mini editiorial:
I think it's great CO did this scheme and I applaud them for letting the employees vote. Personally I would much rather have seen the more recent meatball scheme (or better yet both). I would think employees would enjoy seeing a scheme that many of them actually worked, and customers remember flying on.
Even after seeing it hundreds of times (I last saw it Friday) I always pause and reflect very fondly when N744P, the Piedmont Pacemaker visits LGA. It's scheme is the same as the 733's and 734's I worked and flew on dozens of times in the mid to late 80's. The older Piedmont scheme from a similar era as this CO scheme would have been better than nothing, in fact cool in it's own way, but I am glad US chose the newer scheme.
Also by painting a new aircraft, the great SEA area photags like Jeremy will likely get all the early shots. Personally, I like seeing an exisiting aircraft repainted in secret, then unveiled for staff and the media and those become the first shots.
I know some will disagree, and that's fine, just sharing my two cents!
Thanks again CO and Jeremy
