Well then please continue to use B6 for your personal convenience. After all, this list is all about you ... Not sharing information about the airline industry. Hey, that 1 second it takes to type "jetBlue" instead of B6 starts to add up after awhile! -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alireza Alivandivafa Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 6:09 PM To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Piedmont/US Air, Request Actually, I believe US aquired Piedmont about the same time CO aquired PeopleExpress. I remember the change in scheme. They also went from a white fuselage to a silver one. You can still see a few of these planes at PHL (At least you could in 2001). They did not repaint many DC-9s etc. B6 is jetBlue, the hottest airline around. Everyone seems to know QQ and WN, so what is the big deal. I don't feel like typing jetBlue all the time, JB means something else and I don't know 3 letter codes In a message dated 8/12/2003 10:19:33 AM Pacific Daylight Time, kurtzke@xxxxxx writes: << Allegheny (a.k.a. Agony) become U.S. Air before it "acquired" Piedmont. (Interesting tidbit: the other competitor for Piedmont was CSX, formerly known as the Chessie System for you RR buffs). The reason for the name change was the subject of much caustic and snide comments -- shortly after the change, on a flight where everything was going wrong, an F/A said in frustration, "it's still Allegheny." When U.S. Air took over Piedmont, it changed its red U.S. Air logo to a logo where "U.S." was blue and "Air" still red (or maybe it was the other way around). That was part of their way of "integrating" Piedmont. It did look nicer. Request: When naming airlines, please give the name, especially when the two letter code does not suggest the name. Most folks know AA is American -- but not everyone -- but I certainly don't know what B6 is. >>
