They said early on that all our fleet will get repainted. They're painting the oldest 900s first and the newest saabs first and no 200s are in paint at the moment. Painting the PCL 200s from oldest to newest only make sense. Why would you paint the ones that have the newest paint?

Now it's clear why they started painting the newest saabs first... we're parking 10 starting in September and I would imagine we'll be parking the oldest ones first. So... painting from oldest to newest wouldn't make sense here.

I think people are stretching a bit with the speculation that we must be parking 200s because they're not going for paint. Uh... we're already sending 900s and saabs. NWA, Pinnacle AND Compass are also sending planes to the same paint facility. There's only room for so much work. Plus, the 200s are flying their butts off to cover for the planes in mx AND paint.
