I live near Boeing's 737 factory in Renton, WA.
For several weeks now, there have been about 6 737's in the work area, all with Continental tails, but no other distinguishing marks on the fuselage.
Perhaps related to this new paint scheme?

It's just strange how the whole Koito controversy has been swept under the rug for the installed in-use seats....
Must have too big of an impact on the bottom line to ground those planes.
BTW this is not just CAL the Koito seat scandal hits almost a third of all airlines...

I think its a big mistake taking the United name, in Latin America which is probably COs most profitable route network, United is just another word in the English language, nobody even has a clue that that airline exist. They are gonna have to spend some serious marketing $$$$ in LatAm before they change the name.
Passengers who don't know CAL will recognize the United name. Those who don't know United will recognize the Continental logo and livery.
Overall, this is most likely a temporary change. I would expect in a few years after the certificates are combined and the operation is smoothed out we will see a new livery and perhaps even a new logo. Maybe even sooner than that.
