American Airlines (AA, Dallas/Fort Worth) workers have voted to retain the airline's new flag design as the paint livery for its fleet of over 1'100 aircraft. Of the 60'418 votes cast, 31'355 were in favour of the flag tail design while a total of 29'063 voted for American's traditional AA-with-an-eagle logo for the paint job on the planes. “It was very close, but the majority has spoken, and the new flag tail will proudly represent American Airlines — and all of us — for years to come,” said American Chief Executive Doug Parker. The new livery was introduced in 2013 prior to the airline's merger with US Airways (Phoenix Sky Harbor). The company now plans to paint 300 US Airways aircraft, 280 US Airways Express jets and 539 American Airlines planes with the livery scheme.
