Why are they painting them then? That's not cheap, I've seen several eskimo buses.

Fake news....VX's white was pearl, AS has a gloss white like what some paint manufacturers would call "Alpine" or "Arctic" White (Not sure what the actual paint code is). Everything but the wings get painted....they aren't stripping the paint down down though.....just white primer and white gloss over the existing paint.

Not all of them are painted yet. Could offload a couple/few next year maybe? We are hiring a decent number in the first half of next year so doubt we're gonna remove airplanes during that time, however Alaska's growth in the past has often been to replace airplanes with fewer seats with airplanes with more seats and call it growth.
