Atlas can’t even bother to painted the newest aircraft in the fleet N859GT. After having it white for years they finally just painted Atlas Air on the side. Nothing on the tail. Who knows how long it’ll take them to paint the 777s. Most likely as stated above, they’ll strip the Southern off leave a mis matched white and let it fly for the next 5 years. It wouldn’t be the first time before someone jumps on be for being negative. Tons of examples on the 747 side.

Painting airplanes is a big expense really does nothing for branding purposes in the ACMI world unlike the pax world. The planes will get painted when they are required to get painted during a scheduled heavy check.
