Since those flight are NOT CO on the inside... maybe there is no reason to say CO on the outside... @:-)
I've previously heard the ground personnel refer these unmarked aircraft as "bluetails," perhaps following the manufacturers' practice of calling aircraft built without customers as "whitetails."
The white body and blue tail remind me of DL markings without the triangle. In March, my CHQ flight had MX, and they pulled a bluetail. Evidently, they had expected that particular aircraft to fly for AA because it had AA magazines and AA napkins.
