Westjet_yhm - Sandy McDougall and I are putting out a press release shortly about services to YHM.
Thanks to the rest of you for your support - it's very hard work doing this, and we're still a long way off being airborne yet. Still, things are looking very good indeed!

Gary - I'm still open to suggestions for the livery - we're looking at various designs at the moment. Personally, I favour tartan tails (all different) or photographic images of Scotland a la Frontier - my colleagues like the Saltire and lion rampant (which is out because of its connection with BCal/CKT)

Neil - I would not go with the tartan tail that is all different. I would go with a business look like AA, United, BM. But I do think it is important to have something to do with Scotland (maybe names or something). I do not know too much about Scotland, but I would definately go with a business look!

Neil,
Continued good wishes on getting this business venture up in the air. I sincerely hope to be on a Caledonian Wings aircraft one day!

Iain - remember we're more charter/leisure oriented. The staid, corporate looks are also something I'm trying to avoid a bit - obviously I don't want to go too OTT - but at the end of the day, it has to be something that is very distinctive.

Neil,
I wish I was an artist because I appreciate good image/looks/livery (like many ppl on this forum) yet have no way to visualize my ideas.
Anyway, how about something lie a light grey body "Caledonian Wings" in billboard (Pan Am Style, but different typescript entirely) titling in a dark green jovial looking font. Than perhaps you could have a small image of the Scottish flag waving (somewhat Olympic 717 style) and than on the tail yeah a picture (Frontier stlye) of beautiful Scottish higlands. Have your URL displayed clearly too.

Not too reassuring, the comment from Delta:
"The letter of intent still being worked on".
If a letter of intent is "still being worked on", where's the intent?

Neil - I think I understand a bit more now, are you looking for a more fun look then UA and others. Have you thought of having a theme on each aircraft, maybe use Scottish castles, or things typically Scottish, like a lockness theme!!
