Of course it's not helped when airline spokespersons make disingenuous statements like this, following the Air Canada CRJ accident at Fredericton in December 1997:
(explaining that removing the logo was standard practice after a crash): "The aircraft no longer belongs to Air Canada; it is now in the possession of the insurance underwriter."
Disingenuous yes, but also factually accurate. By the by, the Transportation Safety Board was none too pleased that the aircraft was "disturbed" before they finished their on-site work and I believe they even said so in their final report.
