Keep the American Airlines as is or bring back the AA tail

Post by RicHicks »

Doug Parker is allowing employees to pick the permanent American Airlines tail. What is your choice?

The tail has grown on me. Since there is no Option C I vote to keep the new look

While over time the new tail is not as off-putting as when I first saw it, I'd still be in favor of ditching it. Of course, the old tail and new logo on the side of the plane will be strange too. Why not new logo, but the new slanted eagle on the tail?

WFAA Channel 8 has a side by side or in this case one atop the other of the two schemes. The old tail does not really work with the new grayish color.

Capt a majority of employees agree with you. American is keeping the new look. I too am pleased with the vote. The planes need the color to offset all the grey.

What would also be cool is if they named the planes, I know Lufthansa does that , they name their planes after cities.
I think it would be cool
