Does it REALLY matter with a crappy, gaudy colour scheme like they have anyway?

They could, it's just that they didn't want to. Myself I think they look great considering any A320 on the ground is a very very ugly beast. Only slightly better in the air too.

I have the distinct belief that the colour scheme was devised by Queer Eye for the Straight Airline....

It certainly is one of those colour schemes that negates the need for strobes, anti-collision, pulsing landing lights, sirens, and possibly even logo lighting. Maybe it was a brilliant piece of economics, since now they don't have to pay for those illumination and recognition devices?

I think it looks beautiful, better than any Boeing, and most importantly it's not Australian.

Blech. Strange type of yellow, it certainly stands out. And I like how they've painted around the registration at the back ... NOT.

wishtobflying, I hope you are not serious you numbskull. That is a temporary sticker they put over the painted future rego just until it is on the ZK registry.

About as ugly as you can get, unless you are in love with Tasmanian devils, refering to the 320 of course

Question:

Why cudn't (sic) they get the full logo on tail compared to 737-300??"

Answer:
Why bother? After all, the West Islanders are only going to be looking at it with their one eye.

Red face The next SJ A320 is gonna be worse..

... they've had a 'Colouring comp' running for some time apparently and the winning kid(?) gets free reign on the design/colour!

Can't wait!

As for 737 scheme...

Looks better on the Boeing?

Notice difference in size of 'freedomair.com' on the Boing and A320.

and while we\'re here, word is the leather interior on A320 matches this!
