|  Airline Logo Lights So my friend and I were discussing how it seems some airlines no longer turn on their logo lights at night to save costs. I know I still saw the majority of Continental having their logo lights on. Anyone know if there has been any policies implimented regarding this? |

 | Re: Airline Logo Lights We use them. If the bulb goes out it gets MELed and I think it's a 10 day deal. |

| Re: Airline Logo Lights Some of our aircraft have them, some of them don't. I doubt it saves any appreciable amount of fuel/energy to not use them. Your gens are turning anyway.

| Re: Airline Logo Lights Probably just the cost of replacing them when they burn out eventually. |

| Re: Airline Logo Lights The vast majority of the fleet at DAL does not have logo lights installed. They were never there from the beginning. American is the same way. For about three years we never turned on our Logo lights at XJT. That nicely coincided with negotiations. If the lights are installed and not used, it generally means someone is pissed.

| Re: Airline Logo Lights Is there any particular reason some airlines don't install them? I'm not really convinced it's a weight issue... |

| Re: Airline Logo Lights No DL aircraft have them, ditto with 9E. That cover both airlines I have flown with. I belive some NW birds still have them, as I saw a 757 with theirs on still the other night. I suppose it depends on the carrier. We are are lit up as much as practical below FL 180, with certain lights left off to declare cleared for landing.

| Re: Airline Logo Lights XJT aircraft have them...I turn them on at night more as a collision-avoidance measure than to promote the death-star on the tail.

| Re: Airline Logo Lights I use them all the time at night, more lights = less likely that some moron will plow into you. Turning them off because you're pissed is stupid, nobody cares.

| Re: Airline Logo Lights Agreed. It'd be nice if we actually had them to be honest. But hey, I don't get to make those types of choices. |

| Re: Airline Logo Lights On the Beech I was pretty anal about the tail logo lights to make sure they are on for all ground operations at night. Can help ATC determine where you are during taxiing around LGA or BOS in the middle of a big push. Might save your arse.
