Fleet Repainting

The only difference is that southwest didn't start out with (what I consider) the best livery, they've always been 'different'.

It looks like another A330-3 is in for paint, A/C 277. After a quick look, it appears that there are currently 6 in the paint shop. As I have said before, the new livery looks decent, but they really need to put some color and/or the new logo on the winglets. I personally think that it makes them a lot more visible for safety reasons.
 
I agree, the winglets should be painted solid red to make them more visible.

Do they paint these when they are otherwise scheduled in the shop for major maintenance, or is there just a rotation for paint only?
 
How long does it take to change the livery?
 
They are painting them and not doing an HMV visit.
 
It was two weeks for the A330.
 
Typically, in a merger, the airline moves quickly to re-paint the planes carrying the livery being discontinued.  We saw it with HP, NW, and CO.  Only WN has been slow to repaint the FL planes.
