The RJ200s are scheduled to be painted. I'm tired of FARANG making stuff up and spouting off random rumors that have been proven wrong.
Mesaba can't paint the whole fleet all at once. The 200 does ZERO blue tail flying. That is ONE reason the 200s haven't been painted yet. The 200 has really new paint. That's another reason. The 200s are covering some of the 900 and Saab routes while they are being painted. That's the main reason they aren't being painted YET. In one of our company updates (which Farang doesn't get) Spanjers said the 200s will begin the painting process once the 900s are done.
Seriously, if I hear one more person say we are losing the 200s JUST because they're not getting painted I might go postal.
