Southwest Airlines paints their ugly-ass planes to something less ugly-ass. The light tan of their original planes a) reminds me that passengers are being shipped like cardboard packages, b) makes the seams of the planes visible so that they look ready to fall apart, and c) makes the planes look fat. Same goes for the original tan interior. The nice pretty blue will make their airliners virtually invisible on a clear day!
