Nooooo!! I thought they would wait a couple years until the aircraft actually needed a repainting, but alas I may never see a HA Dreamliner again. :(

You'll have a few more weeks before 781, 782, and 783 are sent for painting. Alaska wants them all re-painted before they launch their Europe flights.
