Craig, i can agree with that, most of the managers i have personally met (lower end mgrs) are nice people, and it is true that they do a good job of keeping the company from completely disappearing off the map. but there are several thousand eye brows raised from the worker bees when we follow mgmts advice and orders to save cash at every turn even when it involves taking a pay cut (sometimes close to 60% for some people) and then when the company is saved from financial ruin due to the hard work in following managements advice the wages dont get raised back up, but the managers still roll in millions of dollars, literally millions of dollars per upper level manager. One particular airline im familiar with - the management bonuses in total added up to more money that the entire years profits by a wide margin.

Now dont get me wrong, i agree that their financial maneuvering is a hard business to be in, and i love the job im fortunate enough to do BUT i cant stand the injustice of being told that my labor costs are too expensive, all the while the men saying that are are paid more in bonus money in one year than I would earn if i worked this job non stop for 360 YEARS.

but that rant aside, i think the paint job looks pretty good, im sure it will be one that will grow on people, their other paint job looked to much like British Airways. IMHO
