If you use paint as your barometer I know a few unscrupulous airplane brokers you might want to talk to.
Personally I think the company has done a fairly good job of getting planes through the paint shop quickly versus the last regime. Hopefully we will adopt the CAL cleaning process as their planes had better exterior cleaning than the UAL side ever did.

Yeah, that's critical stuff. I think Jeff talks about that in the inflight safety briefing (when the FAs don't skip it). It even made it as an positive point in the latest employee satisfaction survey. I was wondering who it was that thought it was important enough to mention.
Meanwhile, Rome is burning.
As for the cleaning, I'm betting we will still have Scrub doing the same mediocre job as they battle their way upsteam while the pax are scrambling to deplane and make their next connection.
