I think there are many, who are aviation knowledgeable, who find inappropriate this attitude of portraying the whole operation as that of a major carrier until the moment something goes wrong, when all of a sudden everything is reversed and it's "nuffin' to do wiv us, mate". Well in that case, why do you do Due Diligence on your subcharter operators. And why do you require them to strip their own branding off the aircraft, as here.

The regularly cited Colgan accident is another example. Every bit of branding at the airport and on the aircraft plainly said Continental. But their PR team worked full time to deny this once there had been an accident. It was notable that all the Continental-generated news matter pointedly said "Colgan", while all of Colgan's own material prominently said "Continental".
