New "Employee Powered" Livery
This picture just showed up on Skyliner aviation news. It is an AS 737-800
N568AS that has just been repainted landing a KPAE (Everett, WA). Could this be the rebranding we have been hearing about? I think it looks GREAT!!!

Just to add credibility to the photo, Mr. Cawby notes the picture was taken 10/4/2013. Flightaware shows AS 9001 from SEA to PAE on 10/4 and it was a 737-800.

My guess is this is NOT the new livery/rebranding. It is a new plane/livery dedicated to the employees. It features signatures from thousands of its employees on the side of the plane somewhere. I don't think they are even close to a rebranded livery and would keep it a much bigger surprise than this. Just a guess though.

Leaking?
Looks like the engine is leaking something down the side.

Agree 100%. However, lets just say that AS was looking into a new livery... what is shown in the pictures here, minus the "employee" text, may be an option they are looking at. By introducing it a special livery, they are able to get it out in public, hear feedback, and proceed from there. If the base (what we see now) of this livery doesn't go down to well, then they write it off as a special, one off livery and move on. If it's well received... then I think we may be looking at the new standard livery for AS.

The red line? It's there on all 737's (and probably other jets in some form), I believe to mark the rear boundary of the "danger" area while the jet is on.

My bad, I missed the "landing" part, thought it was just AT PAE! Oops!

Is it verboten to say that I actually like it?

Looks like it, probably because it was Matt Cawby's photo with the copyright removed. Here's the original from Matt Cawby: http://www.flickr.com/photos/microvo...in/photostream

My vote would be 'bleh'.
