Oh, and after having to deal with your Newark mechanics, I learned how you guys operate! They get incensed when I have the temerity to actually write up something! I've been told bluntly that "that's not how we do things here - we 'work together' to avoid delays". THAT is the kind of ** operation you allowed to thrive. Then you have the gall to ridicule the UAL pilots for demanding high quality maintenance standards. It's a good thing your planes are newer...

If you're a real pilot you'll understand that the exterior paint mismatches carry no negative connotations for the maintenance status of the plane.
