Turns out that there are two planes in the fleet that still have the old colors, each one in homage to Herb or Colleen. The tail number reflects which plane is for who. They are both 700s I believe.

Yesterday, we flew home on tail # 714CB. It was Colleen's plane.

They still have a terrific corporate culture.
All the 300's are gone. Yes, the retro liveries are on 700's and I believe there are three of them.
