Skywest New Logo - what do you think!?
 

Now that the first aircraft is painted (the F-100), just wondering what people think of the new logo? I think it looks mint myself! :ok: ;) :O Believe it is suppose to represent the clear blue WA sky with the sun, as would be seen through a camera lens or aircraft window - like it! :D

cheers,

p.s hope the URL works below, otherwise airliner.net have shots of the F100...

The word 'Skywest' could be bigger or bolder. The windows break it up too much, in my opinion. Otherwise very sharp and professional - especially for a smaller company. I quite like it. The shade of blue is very nice too.

Yep, looks great, can't wait to number 2 and 3 soon.....

A bit Ho-Hum IMHO. I think the tail colours going down through the fuselage is a bit tired now, quite a number of carriers doing it these days. The tail logo looks a bit South American to me as well....I have no idea what that means though!:confused:

Question: Did Skywest lease F100 VH-FNY from Alliance, or has the aircraft owner leased the aircraft to Skywest?

If Alliance are reputed to be getting more F100's, (thus obviously have a need for more F100's) why would they lease one of only two F100's to Skywest?

Something doesn't make sense here.......... :confused: :confused:

:D :D I think the new logo looks great !!!

There will always be those who have to knock anything to do with skywest. :* :eek: Probably becuase they have nothing better to do......

Well done to those who had a hand in it :ok:

Alliance have 2 F100's and Skywest 1, that makes 3 on the register.

How can you have to much detail and no definition?
With your comments on the funding and the others you have posted recently on other topics, Skywest must have really upset you some time ago.
Hope you get over it.

Tailwheel, FNY is Skywest's own bird now in it's own right. Alliance has absolutely nothing to do with Skywest anymore.

Cruze, I hear that the loads on the BRM service are fantastic, so we will just have to wait and see shall we...

I think the SKYWEST name could be a little bigger. "It represents the clear blue sky of W.A", not on this particular day by the looks of it. A bit of a storm brewing on the horizon.

:O actually 85 in:ok:

Cruze, a little brutal, but on the money I think.

The paint scheme looks OK in my opinion.

I'm sure the BRM service is enjoying great loads but what about the yield ??

More of them ?, where are they going to go ? They will experience the same probs Airlink did 9 years ago, the difference being that Skywests pockets are not nearly as deep as QFs.

yep, saturdays service was chockas coming back, have friends travelling down with xr and it was around $300 cheaper than qf, here is where cunninlinguist makes a good point, high load factor is only one side of the equation, if the yield is crap the service will lose money, maybe xr can subisidise this with the argyle service.

a lot of the seats are deep discounted, $250 one way, or sold with dirt cheap holiday packages, good luck to them tho, i hope they do well, tho when virgin enters the market tha will be the test.

Stick-pusher, you ol' ******, how are you?
......ages since I climbed on your roof on a Sunday evening!
...Lumberjack is here this week apparently...gotta catch up.

viva La France, dude!

PS...nice ship...needs more color...are you on it?

CRZ POWER,

Or lack of, after reading your comments about xr, i can only think of one thing to say, YOU HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM.

Sorry for the dig but...perhaps BME is being subsidised by the monopoly routes Skywest operate to ESP, ALB and GEL, as well as govt rules preventing other operators getting into LEO just because XR go there RPT? A tad unfair, I think.

Still, it's a fantastic aeroplane and looks great, apart from the landing I saw a couple of weeks back that touched down AFTER the 24 intersection!! Nice bit of low flying, that! Speedbrake out a bit earlier, chaps!

are the cabin crew still wearing ansett uniforms ?

it's not a scratch on the cockie:{

The colour looks great to me. Makes a nice change from red.

Cruze...I'm another one that will bet against you.

Broome and the surrounding towns/communities that feed off Broome have been screaming out for a morning flight ever since Ansett went under. Airlink had poor loads at the time due to poor schedule times. Ansett was the first jet in...and the last jet out. Great for the business market and great for freight. What people forget is not everyone in Broome is on Holiday. Ansett had this figured out at the time and had the loads.

I believe there are already rumours of Skywest planning to go 7 days a week.

:ok:

Ah RM by fine feathered friend!!! How goes it in the land of the long white cloud? Well I trust? How are the Beasts?
How I do miss you acrobatic late night antics you 'old hound!!!
Do catch up with L, hope all goes well!

Are you ever coming back over to your roots for a catch up? Alas I won't be over there for the for seeable future.

p.s next year....

p.p.s This was a thread about the paint scheme remember kids!

Where do you find such detail about the workings of Skywest? Hopefully not the media!

I would love to be able to source that sort of info about every other Airline, so that we can all see how they are run.

Just one thought.

If QF average $400 per seat and XR $300 per seat how does the maths work out when the 146 carries 71 and the F100 97, if you use a similar load factor.

60% 0f 71 *$400 = $17040
60% of 97 * $300= $17460


Broome now has two airlines servicing the port with a similar service level. Only the customers will really know what the price is and they will ultimately decide if XR is to survive on the route.
