I find it interesting that many foreign airlines use their logo lights for visibility and proud advertising, yet in the USA it seems that only a handful of large aircraft but many regional jets use them.
It's like the fat kid that just gives up on his/her personal appearence! Next we will see paint jobs and cabin materials falling apart. Oh wait, we already do!

The flying public only cares about ticket price...they will fly a Frankenstein airplane that's half orange and half pink if they get the best fare there.
What financial motivation is there to paint planes every few hours or waste money on logo lights? I'd rather the company spent more money to pay me.

the company directs us to leave the logo lights off here at eagle, too, although most pilots, frankly, could give a ****. Taxiing around a busy airport at night with no logo lights just to save $5000 a year is just so stupid it blows my mind.

You think I'm exaggerating? I'm not.

All of AA's 737s and 777s were delivered with logo lights. They were promptly removed or rendered inoperative. Same with the TWA MD80s. I guess they just don't feel the extra safety/advertising is worth the cost to maintain them.
