I sat next to a JetBlue pilot on a flight once who said they ferry their A320s to the paint shop in New Mexico every 5 years for a repaint. 534 came in Feb 2008 and has factory paint. My guess is at most airlines, it would be due for a compete repainting. I'm sure we will fly it until all the white paint has fallen off and they have to spray paint "Spirit" on the side in blue.

Keep in mind that paint isn't just design. It is corrosion prevention. That is why jet blue does it. I guess the skin gets the same attention as the leather seats.

Our new A320 just did its acceptance flight this morning. It doesn't have sharklets for those wondering.

Who knows but I doubt it is random paint stripping if that was the case we would see it on more than just one airframe.

When did you guys start going away from the Digital paint scheme, like 3 or so years ago? probably one my favorite schemes of all time (the silver version)
