They should get really creative and do a HeartOn also. Anyone wanna do a mockup?

A New Southwest Airlines livery scheme. Those 2 737-800 is still the paint shop in GEG instead of Renton, WA.

When they will come out?

Let the speculation begin.

This is the most disappointing part of the new scheme ... I think the new scheme looks fine despite this.

That rendering isn't correct, just look at the tail. The white is all wrong.

Here is a better representation:

Nah, I think it's a new look. They often give special names to the first of anything. When the current livery came out it was Spirit One, the first -800 was Warrior One, etc.

No capes.

Looks like the home page got a refresh also. Looks nicer, but I think the old home page was more convenient since I could login to my account right there.

So, the port side looks a lot better than the starboard side IMO. I think it's because of the way the capitalization interacts with the windows?
