I am not saying the UA livery is good or bad...that's really a matter of taste.

As far as the percentage of planes with the new livery, my understanding is that they have been painting an average of about 50 a year since the end of 2004. With their current fleet at 359 a/c, this means more or less 100 planes remain in the old livery...
