Merry Christmas to all members! 😀

I suppose the new colour may be to convey the thought of the airline taking it’s passengers away to sunny destinations. Either that or they threw a dart at a colour chart on the wall! :rolleyes:

And perhaps the sad loss of jobs within the groups is to cover the cost of this giant rebranding (I know this isn’t really the case, but sarcasm is hard to convey through text sometimes ;))

Just a thought,

Why, when the trolley dolly said “All electronic equipment should be turned off” etc. etc. Did this guy assume he did not have to comply with the safety instruction?

Everything is supposed to put away/stowed safely.

A contravention of a least two safety regulations?

Should be allowed?

So its OK to interpret the regulations?

What about the possible intervention of other PAX seeing it as effecting their safety?

I’ve seen worse. A friend of mine once took a video of the take off roll……using his mobile phone 😮

Don’t worry, I gave him lots of grief about it after but nothing much you can do about it apart from make sure it doesn’t happen again :rolleyes:

Will Boeing do the same and display all the airline logos when the first few 787’s are rolled out? It would be a lot of stickers…

What defines a ‘launch customer’? The A380 has airline logo’s on the side of those who have ordered it before it enters service (have they taken off the Fed-Ex sticker? ;)), however are all these ‘launch customers’?

I’m just curious as the 787 has had orders from a lot of different airlines (some only ordering 1 or 2 each) and so are they all ‘launch customers’ or is it only airlines that work with the manufacturer to create specifications for a new aircraft and hence forth make an order?

In terms of range, what is the difference between a 777-200 and 777-200ER?

personally I like it. I thought the old scheme was too simple…..like they had just leased the plane and threw something on. the new one looks more distinguishable and permanent.

Those are Chevrons – scalloped or serrated edges used to quite the noise both for Passengers inside and for people outside.

They look pretty good too!
