When does MidWest Express get their 717?

02-04-2003, 10:13 PM

When i havn't heard anything for a while, and were they getting a new color scheme also?

AlphaSigOU · 02-04-2003, 10:56 PM

Should be sometime this year... You might want to check their website at www.midwestexpress.com .

What happened to there color scheme, they changed it, whats that on the tail? Also how many 717 are they picking up?

continental sat · 02-11-2003, 11:23 PM

I believe the new colors are a part of their rebranding as "Midwest".Not postive bout how many 717s thoe.

I believe 21 or so.

21, at least that means more times that i might see it. does anyone know if the 717 flies to lax?

continental sat · 02-12-2003, 12:25 AM

Currently LAX is a not a DC-9 route but theirs talk of using the 717 on the route.The 717s will replace all the DC-9s on their routes first.

Ok thank for ur help guys.

You know....Midwest Express is my favorite airline...and I am not sure I like the new livery. The colors have a great number of possibilities, but what they came up with leaves something to be desired.

This might make a good "What If" post....

tjwgrr · 02-12-2003, 10:58 AM

I remember when MidEx announced the new logo and name change. They want to get away from the Express in their name which they feel implies that they're a regional or feeder airline to some of the general public....

Chansen · 02-12-2003, 11:23 AM

It stays with the attributes of the last Midwest or what is currently flying on most of the fleet. Font is the same and overall look is the same as current Midwest Express planes. What is nice on this look at the starboard nacelle you will notice three stripes representative of First Officer. On port side four stripes adorn the nacelle. I like what the designers came up with here! Shows at least the Airline is a class Airline not a puddle jumper.

Love the 717... Looks like a good one for Bader to do for me. A great looking livery.

AirDar · 02-13-2003, 04:51 AM

I rather like this new look. I don't understand the tail logo though... especially that tiny M in it... is it wings? Is it a hair comb?!?! It's just confusing. The rest of the plane is quite attractive though. I DO like the title font as well... even though it's the same as their current titles, taking the "Express" off really cleans it up and makes them more professional looking. all in all (logo aside) a decent rebrand.

Cool to see an eyebrow-less 717 too!

Gordon Werner · 02-13-2003, 08:23 PM

I like this look much better than when they first released the drawings of this new color scheme ...

I must say though that the 717 looks really strange without the eyebrow windows.

DID they change there name to Midwest or just the planes don't have the express titles?

Travis Campbell · 02-13-2003, 10:15 PM

I agree with Gordon, the eyebrowless 717 is kinda creepy...

AirDar · 02-14-2003, 02:32 AM

Naaaah... The eyebrowless 717 is COOL! Kinda' like a hot-rod DC-9-30! BIG engines, all smoothed out and customised! I wonder if they frenched the door handles?

flick70 · 02-14-2003, 04:10 AM

Those photos make my hope that AirTran's request for a stretched 717 are fulfilled.

We could possibly have a NG DC-9 and MD-80!
