At least it's at the gate on-time and I suppose that counts for a lot !
They've clearly made the smart decision that 100% of people won't be able to see the outside of their aircraft when the book the ticket, just the price...
They're also probably thinking about the fact that 99.99% of people absolutely don't care about what's on the outside of the plane whether its Pokemon or fresh wax.
