The pitot cover and AoA vane look like a question mark, as in

Don't know anything about past or current painting decisions, but 737-8200 as far as I know is the planned formal type certificate model designation for the 200 passenger variant of a -8 fuselage length Max. It's not just a marketing designation. It had a separate certification program. I believe it's not on the TC data sheet because it's not approved yet. Those pictures appear to be at the factory.

I’m fully aware of the designator / model number but airlines all over the place have daubed MAX on the sides of their aircraft, including Ryanair as evidenced by the photo. And now, the back pedal to an innocuous name.

Looks like RYR will have plenty of time to do their ‘rebranding’.

But even more he is playing a classic card that a restructure that would be necessary ANYWAY is actually someone else's fault
"We are starting a series of discussions with our airports to determine which of Ryanair's underperforming or loss making bases should suffer these short term cuts and/or closures from November 2019,"
= we need to cut out some facilities and people because they are losing us money
The (MAX) 8200 designation will only feature in a marketing context.

So
"We know that you are concerned that there have been two terrible accidents in which everyone died
But we have fixed the problems - you don't need to know the detail which will just confuse you
So we have obscured which aircraft might be affected"
The sweaty, smelly, cheap public will have no option but to use the aircraft because they WILL be on routes they want at prices they desire.
BUT, if ANYTHING happens,even unrelated to MCAS you betcha it will be reported as a MAX problem with (frankly justified) iimplications of a cover up

Personally, as SLF, I don't feel offended. I don't think he meant it literally, but more in the sense of "the unwashed masses":
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unwashed_masses
And probably it reflects more what the people deciding to hide the MAX branding would think, not him.

737-8 is the model number for cert...
There will likely be an designation to this, if nothing else, to tell the difference between the 737-8 variant allowed to fly, and the current variant. (hence the 737-8200 noticed.
The current cert does not have the 200 variable..
By the time the aircraft and the software configurations allow this ac to fly again...who knows what it will look like.
