Correct. At the gate in Aruba on Monday I was chatting to the Captain and First officer waiting to take over the flight back to EWR and they said that when flying the new colours they had to let ground/tower/ATC know that it was a United aircraft albeit a Continental call-sign.

Flew on one yesterday, flight 206 IAH - TPA, aircraft 212. Upgraded and sat next to a United Premier Exec who was surprised at his good fortune.

Saw the 752 out in the "bone yard" by Term A @ EWR, and a 739 @ Term C-3. ^
Was kind of hoping to see a lot more a/c painted by now, Gordo style!

Saw my first two yesterday afternoon at EWR two separate 738s were there yesterday afternoon.
Haven't seen a repainted plane at IAH yet though.

I still have not seen one of the newly painted aircraft. Are they going to specific airports, or just being utilized normally?

Saw a 738 in EWR last week. gotta say that the font for the logo looks pretty 'cheesy'. They should have kept the CO fonts.

I certainly don't want the CO font back, I see enough Times New Roman in Word documents at work.
