New colors for United Airlines

The I saw read about this stated the new livery would be phased in through annual maintinace at SFO, about 56 a year. Of course this means that just as they paint the last one there will be another change/ merger/ whatever.

I've seen them. Looks like somebody forgot to finish painting the tails..... :(

White over blue? Won't that make them British Airways?

I understand pilots disliked the UAL gray because in reduced visbility of fog/rain/snow/dust/smoke/smog/twilight the gray made the planes near invisible on the runways.

If I was United, I would return to the 1960 stars and bars scheme. None of their more recent liveries ever topped that for grace and class.

White is a real bitch too though..... eventually you just hope ATC gives you a good vector and look for the lights......
