I’m not saying it’s a sign of being bought, to me it’s a sign of the Bus going away, but if there is an acquisition, we will look back at this and it will be obvious that something was going on in hind sight.

Taking down a bunch of planes at once to paint in any month seems silly. Postponing all aircraft painting for what, 6 months now, has put them on an even tighter schedule to get it done (don’t forget that there is a royalty fee and deadline to get this livery off the planes). Meanwhile 737s are going down every month to get decals applied and new paint jobs. I’m not a conspiracy theorist at all, but to me it clearly indicates something. What that something is, we won’t know until we see it on the news.
