New paint job....

Looks exactly the same to me

Another improvement.

Things are getting better.

Keep up the pressure!!

Well at least we know what our profit share will be spent on this year...

...paint.

No Probs, we hedge paint stocks.:eek:

I reckon it's another avgeek using photoshop and applying the new branding to a generic pic. Why would Mad Men use a smoggy picture of HKG as the backdrop? Their remit is to sell dreams, not reality.

Fleet office communications no longer show progress pics of the A350. The paint job must have progressed enough for them to go into secret squirrel mode.

No its real, it was released in Cathay Pacific's official Youtube Channel more than 12 hours ago.

Hah. I was trying to find the link on Youtube, looks like they have made it private. The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLskBTrhGek

When I saw it 5 hours ago, they had more than 80 dislikes and bad reviews in the comment section. I wonder how long this paint would last. May be it's a repeat of that first full bed business class.

I stand corrected!

Though with narration by a balding Englisman sporting a 5 o'clock shadow and wearing an overly-tight black shirt, the mind drifts to iPlagarism (...iconnect, iremote, iJourney). iEmbarrassed

It's getting hammered online.

Perhaps CX you should listen to people who don't blow sunshine up your arse when ever some dimwit manager proposes an idea! Or actually spend some money for once rather than do everything on the cheap.

I can only imagine the CX propaganda department is now erasing all the negative comments associated with the video and filling it with fairies and unicorns so we can all live happily ever after.

Oh the video is back, I'm so glad the brushing was set free :yuk:

Not doing will on the score card either, the comments are brutal, I like the one saying CX thinks its up there with Apple marketing an iPhone.

It looks like it's shot in 'sepia'. No colour, no life. Just like the airline as a whole. Hardly surprised are we?

Could it get any blander, cheaper or nastier?

Maybe the savings from that cheapass, ugly paint scheme will go towards paying their employees a liveable wage in HK?

Whoops, in the daze of my jetlag I momentarily forgot who we work for.

If the brief was to make it bland, and make sure no one notices any real difference, then they nailed it! Love to see how much coin was blown on this exceptional new level of waste. Didn't we just 'freshen' up the brand this year? Couldn't that expensive exercise just have waited until they did this irrelevant makeover?

Simply pointless, embarrassing and irrelevant. Another example of our managements ineptness. The long decline continues.

What surprises me the most is the fact that no staff engagement was adopted by the airline. No company communication, no staff event, no media involved, no PR efforts. Cheap in every single way.

You are not really surprised are you...? What would we expect when we have a faceless, unaccountable CEO, a Director of FLIGHT OPERATIONS who knows NOTHING about FLIGHT OPERATIONS, a disinterested and deluded Board who are happy to believe the lies told them by their management, and a dispirited, cynical and rebellious aircrew body. Who cares about paint when there is NO reason to take pride in ones career or airline. The new paint scheme, about as well thought out as everything else in this shambles of a company.

And they paid money for this WHY ?

chill everyone, this new design was a kindergarten paint competition prize……wasnt it?
