From what I see from this angle, it looks good to me. So will it fly before the merger is approved?

Thought that red-fade-blue scheme looked familiar - from one of my favorite pairs of running shoes...I like it!

Looks cool. Will be neat to see it in person when they debut it.

Afaik it's been ready since the merger was expected to close. Think AS is down one airframe due to this. Wonder who leaked it?

Was the last flight of this aircraft really on Sept 11 from Victorville (paint shop?) to SEA?

Tick tock....with each passing day, that paint job is getting more expensive!

They're probably using it for spare parts in the meantime

By the time the merger goes through it will be down to one wing and a tire.
