Yup, and they apparently have 5 lines set up at AMA to do the work. Still doesn't seem feasible to get 200 planes painted in 8 weeks. Each line would have to do a plane a day and that's just the ERJs.
There were two more 738s that went in to AMA this week but also a couple that came out pretty quick. I don't think they were in long enough to get the paint job.

Everything is going to be painted. Folks are going to have to start getting used to the new livery eventually; may as well start now.
