Just wanted to share some I think good news I learned tonight. The US four initial retro schemes where planned to be on US-West (HP) A-320's, due to so many needing to be repainted in the next 6 months. But the new management at US has been listening more than ever to employee feedback. and many US-East employees complained that if the AL,PI, and PSA schemes would not be often seen by the employees of US-East that came from those carriers. For example CLT is the largest station of former PI employees and No US-West aircraft serve CLT. So after listening to employee feedback the company has now decided the initial AL, PI, and PSA schemes will now be US-East 319's probably being repainted in the new few months. I think this is GREAT news for our group as US 319's are very frequent visitors to LGA. Some of you may not agree with the choice of the 319 but the idea is to pick an aircraft that would serve as many stations as possible.Yes a PI 767 would look great again but most stations would never see it. I will update this thread when I here more info especially re the time of repaint, and once they are flying they will probably do a lot of Shuttle flying meaning 3-4 LGA visits per day Perhaps in the future a second retro AL, PI, and PSA aircraft will be painted, and will be a different aircraft type, perhaps a PSA A-321 ! And yes the HP retro scheme will be a US-West (HP) A-319/320.
Cheers
