Aircraft require painting periodically anyway, and because the liveries are so similar, I assume that this will be done at that point rather than a mass-repainting effort. I'd guess it will be a few years at least before all the planes are in the new livery.

Exactly, and I don't think it's any coincidence that 549 is one of the oldest 800s, probably in on its regularly planned paint cycle.

That makes sense. I was under the impression that it would be a full-on repainting effort.

They will be repainted in the normal repaint cycle for now.

I like the new livery. It looks like a more refined version of the old (especially the scimitars). Much better than WN's recent redesign.
