the "+virgin america" on the engines wasn't painted on to the real A321neos either, compared to 737-900ER N493AS

N493AS's engines were later repainted to remove the name in 2019 after the last Virgin America A321neo was fully repainted

then the whole livery was removed in 2023

(Photo creds 1/2/3)
Photo of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-900ER taking off towards the left, photographed from a low angle where it is backed entirely in blue sky. The plane itself is colored in a gradient from red to blue, with "Alaska plus Virgin America" written on the engines. The bottom of the image reads "Photo copyright LHR Photos" and a watermark for Planespotters.net. Photo of the same airplane in 2019 taxxing towards the left of image and photographed from ground level. The engine has visibly been repainted a more solid purple and only has the Alaska wordmark written on it, without Virgin America's wordmark. The bottom of the image reads "Photo copyright Aaron E Arul" and a watermark for Planespotters.net. Photo of the same plane in 2025, seen taking off and photographed from a more forward angle. The plane is colored white with mostly blue tones and green accents towards the rear, in the standard livery of Alaska Airlines. The bottom of the image reads "Photo copyright Stephen J Stein" and a watermark for Planespotters.net.
