Who has been the most efficient/systematic about applying a new livery to a large fleet?
I always seem to think AC was a swift transition?

AC was fast, in recent memory DL moved very quickly with this current livery especially after the merger.

I think UA if you mean not wasteful.

They only painted 60% of the fleet in 6.5 years. That means the other 40% will skip a whole paint job. Can't get much more efficient than not wasting paint/spending money on almost half of the fleet.

If you mean efficient as speedy, then UA doesn't qualify.

JL comes to mind... I couldn't believe how quickly their Crane scheme became a thing of the past...

And thank goodness for that, I love that iconic logo.

How about CO back in the 90s when Bethune took over? A day less than one year for the whole fleet IIRC...


If I wanted your opinion, I'd give it to you!
