Final Note

American Airlines unveils new logo

This final note today, an aviation story that has nothing to do with Boeing 787s or battery fires or anything like that.

American Airlines rolled out its new livery today — that’s a fancy word for the paint scheme they use on planes.

Here’s another word: Ugly. To quote one industry observer, the new logo looks like a seagull sticking its head out of a shower curtain.
