Why do people insist that all bad decisions are driven by accountants? Would the marketing and/or commercial manager and directors and the chief exec’s of these airlines not have a say over the ‘accountants’ in such major appearance-related matters?

I wasnt insisting that bad decisions were driven by accountants in any way at all, I was just trying to explain that it might be cheaper for an airline to go for a livery like that as any airline is a business and its main objective should be to make a profit

Heres my idea.id like to know what you think.Keep the white body with STAR ALLIANCE written on it but have all the tails painted in the airlines normal colours.I have seen it on a SQ 744 and it looked very well so why not do it with all the aircraft that are having Star Alliance logos applied.

Thats what I was thinking, and keeping the airlines name on the body as sta currently do it as well

I like the second one

Leeds-Bradford?

HOw about a few designs of what it should look like ?

yes pity really, think star alliance should of looked at easyJet white and orange before doing what they did

Price-wise though it has to be one the accoutants might prefer

I got this off the Heathrow section on the BAA website:
