Editor’s Note: AirlineGeeks is proud to present our ‘Livery of the Week’ series. Every Friday, a team member will share an airline livery, which can be from the past, present, or even a special scheme. Some airline liveries are works of art. The complexity associated with painting around critical flight components and the added weight requires outside-the-box thinking from designers. The average airliner can cost upwards of $200,000 to repaint, creating a separate aircraft repainting industry as a result.
Have an idea for a livery that we should highlight? Drop us a line.
WestJet currently maintains a distinctive livery featuring a teal color scheme. The airline’s logo, stylized with a maple leaf, is prominently displayed on the tail fin.

The fuselage is predominantly white with the carrier’s name, “WestJet,” displayed in a bold, modern font on the fuselage.
In recent years, WestJet has also introduced special liveries for specific aircraft, such as those featuring Disney characters. The carrier updated its standard livery in 2018.

Boeing dismantled its global diversity, equity, and inclusion department on Thursday, according to a report by Bloomberg citing sources familiar with the matter.
The report stated staff from Boeing’s DEI office will be combined with another human resources team focused on talent and employee experience. Sara Bowen, Boeing’s vice president leading the DEI department, also announced her resignation from the company on LinkedIn Thursday.
“Today I turn in my blue badge,” Bowen said in her LinkedIn post. “It has been the privilege of my lifetime to lead Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the Boeing company these past 5+ years. Our team strived every day to support the evolving brilliance and creativity of our workforce. The team achieved so much – sometimes imperfectly, never easily – and dreamed of doing much more still. All of it has been worth it.”
The move comes as striking members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) are scheduled to vote on a new contract offer Monday. Over 33,000 IAM members have been on strike at Boeing locations in Washington State, Oregon, and California since Sept. 13.
According to a news release from IAM, the new contract proposal would deliver a 38% wage increase over four years and a $12,000 ratification bonus. It would also reinstate Boeing’s Aerospace Machinists Performance Program (AMPP) incentive plan with a guaranteed minimum annual payout of 4% for both 2024 and February 2025.
Additionally, the contract includes a 401(k) employer match of 100% up to 8%, a special company retirement contribution of 4% into 401(k), and a $105 pension multiplier per year for those vested in the pension plan.
The union rejected a previous contract from Boeing after putting it to vote last week, though sentiments may now be growing toward accepting the newest offer. IAM District 751 posted an endorsement of the newest offer on X/Twitter calling for members to approve the new contract.
“Your Union is endorsing and recommending the latest IAM/Boeing Contract Proposal,” IAM District 751 posted. “It is time for our Members to lock in these gains and confidently declare victory. We believe asking members to stay on strike longer wouldn’t be right as we have achieved so much success.”
IAM District 751 President Jon Holden and IAM District W24 President Brandon Bryant also issued the following joint statement in a news release from the union:
“The resolve and solidarity of IAM members at Boeing has spurred a new offer from the company that if ratified will enable workers to quickly make up significant ground financially while setting a new standard for the industry on wages and other key protections – including key wins on job security, safety, health care costs, retirement, bonus pay, and more,” they said.
IAM International President Brian Bryant said that a contract like this would send an inspiring message to all workers in the U.S. who are seeking to join unions.
“Nearly every worker in America knows what it’s like for a company to take too much and give too little,” Bryant said in the release. In securing this agreement, IAM Union members have won an opportunity to ratify a contract that would set a new standard for their industry.”
Voting is slated to close at 10 p.m. EDT on Monday, with vote totals expected to be announced afterward.

“As Italy continues to remain popular for summertime travel, American is making it easier than ever for customers to shop, dine or unwind in their favorite destinations,” said Brian Znotins, American’s senior vice president of network and schedule planning, in a news release. “Whether reveling in the history of Rome or relaxing on a beach on the Mediterranean, American’s network will offer more ways for customers to plan their perfect itinerary.”
Seasonal Shake-Ups
American is also expanding other long-haul routes. Its recently-announced service from Miami to Rome will begin on June 5 instead of July.
In addition, the carrier is adding a second daily flight between Philadelphia and Rome, which will only operate during the summer months starting on June 5.

Emirates announced plans to strengthen its African network further by introducing additional flights to Entebbe, Uganda, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Johannesburg, South Africa.
Since its first flight to Africa in 1986, Emirates has steadily grown its presence on the continent, now serving 20 passenger and cargo destinations.
“Africa has long been a priority region for Emirates, and we are committed to deepening our strategic focus of expansion and continued investment on the continent,” said Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ deputy president and chief commercial officer, in a news release. “The introduction of additional frequencies to Uganda, South Africa, and Ethiopia helps support the region’s growth and provides critical links using Dubai as a key gateway to emerging economies across Asia and the Middle East.”
More Frequency
Effective October 27, Emirates has increased operations between Dubai and Entebbe from five weekly flights to a daily service. This Boeing 777-300ER flight adds 718 seats per week, connecting Entebbe to onward destinations like Canada, the U.S., India, and the U.K.
Starting Jan. 1, 2025, the carrier will increase frequency to Addis Ababa with a daily flight connecting Dubai.
Finally, a fourth daily flight to Johannesburg will be introduced on March 1, 2025, offering a morning departure from South Africa’s largest international airport. This brings Emirates’ operations back to pre-pandemic levels, with 49 weekly flights to South Africa, one of the airline’s most popular destinations on the continent.
Once all additional frequencies are activated, Emirates will offer 161 weekly flights between Africa and Dubai.

SkyWest is expanding its CRJ-550 fleet with plans to add up to 40 more by 2026. Currently, the regional airline giant operates a handful of the premium-heavy 50-seat jets for Delta Connection and soon United Express.
In early October, United disclosed that it had inked an agreement with SkyWest for 11 CRJ-550s. The regional aircraft isn’t new to United’s network as GoJet operates 40.
GoJet and United rolled out the CRJ-550 in 2019, which is a modified CRJ-700 with just 50 seats along with a snack bar and additional luggage storage.

On Thursday, SkyWest announced that its “multi-year” agreement with United includes 40 CRJ-550s, 11 of which will be bought used. The other 29 will be converted from existing CRJ-700s within SkyWest’s fleet.
“This aircraft is an ideal replacement for single-class CRJ-200s,” said Wade Steel, SkyWest’s chief commercial officer, during a third-quarter earnings call.
The additional CRJ-550s will include aircraft that are in storage and actively flying, Steel shared.
The company has already acquired one CRJ-550 in the third quarter with plans to add more aircraft between 2024 and 2026. Four jets are expected to enter service by the end of 2024.
According to Cirium Fleet Analyzer, SkyWest has 104 CRJ-700s currently in service along with 33 in storage. The carrier also plans to operate 19 CRJ-550s under the Delta Connection banner; a handful are already flying from Delta’s Detroit, Minneapolis, and Salt Lake City hubs.

Airlines Cry Foul After DOT Denies Reagan National Slots

Frontier, Spirit, and JetBlue each submitted objections to the Department of Transportation (DOT) this week after being denied slots at Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C.
The five slots were instead tentatively awarded to American, Delta, Alaska, Southwest, and United earlier this month. Eight carriers applied to be chosen under the criteria that they must enhance options for nonstop travel to “beyond-perimeter airports” that don’t have nonstop service to Reagan National as of the signing of the bill.
Reagan National is slot-controlled with the federal government allowing a limited number of flights outside the airport’s 1,250-mile perimeter.
Another criterion allowed airlines to be chosen if they had a positive impact on the overall level of competition in the markets.
The decision led to JetBlue and Frontier accusing the DOT of favoritism and skirting statutes, with Spirit hinting at litigating the matter.
Frontier Objects
In the first objection filed on Tuesday, Frontier argued that Alaska was ineligible to receive slots as a limited incumbent carrier under the established criteria.
Frontier stated the DOT had tentatively determined that Frontier, while an incumbent, was not a limited incumbent air carrier – making it ineligible to receive slots. The airline objected to this decision, stating that the DOT exceeded its authority by adding an exception for Alaska that wasn’t specified in the legislative text.
Citing the statute, Frontier argued that because Alaska and American have a codeshare agreement, they do not qualify for a new slot or exemption as a new entrant or limited incumbent air carrier. This is because the airport’s total number of slots and exemptions held by the two carriers exceeds 20.

“Despite Spirit raising this issue on June 26, 2024, prior to Alaska submitting its application on July 8, 2024, and both Spirit and Frontier raising it in their applications for slots in this proceeding, Alaska did not address this issue in its application or subsequent comments in this proceeding,” Frontier’s objection stated.
Frontier cites that instead, the DOT determined Alaska does not currently place the American code on any nonstop flight it operates at DCA, and would not be permitted to do so for any service operated with a new slot exemption award. Additionally, the relationship between Alaska and American does not include any slot-sharing provisions.
The ultra-low-cost carrier said that the DOT is not interpreting the statute in light of its legislative history or otherwise, but instead amending it to provide an exception that isn’t in the text.
Additionally, Frontier argued that in May through September 2024, approximately 57 of American’s daily flights from DCA were marketed under Alaska’s code to 53 different destinations. Frontier suggested that American’s code sharing provided Alaska with “meaningful access to the DCA market.”
Frontier asked that Alaska be barred from receiving slots in this proceeding as a limited incumbent carrier because of its code sharing with American and their combined slots at DCA exceeding the limit of 20 specified in the statute. Frontier also requested that the DOT modify its tentative ruling and award Frontier the two slot exemption slots.
The airline currently serves the airport with flights to Denver. Frontier had applied to operate a route between Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Reagan National.
Spirit Hints at Litigation
Spirit’s objection repeated Frontier’s assertion that Alaska is not a limited incumbent and should be disqualified from receiving those slots at Reagan National.
“Turning to the facts at DCA, American Airlines, which holds more than 50% of all DCA slots, and Alaska Airlines have had a strong codeshare relationship for over two decades,” Spirit’s objection stated. “Their agreement directly subjects both airlines to 49 U.S.C. § 41714(k). The most current slot data on the FAA website shows American operates 504 regular and commuter slots or exemptions, and Alaska holds 18 for a total of 522—well over the 20 slot/exemption threshold which automatically disqualifies Alaska as a limited incumbent.”
The airline refuted the DOT’s finding that Alaska did not receive any meaningful access to Reagan National via its relationship with American. The carrier stated Alaska and American had over 100 scheduled codeshare flights originating from the airport after expanding their codeshare relationship in May 2024.

“Any federal Court of Appeals almost assuredly would find such a statement as lacking substantial evidentiary support and therefore arbitrary and capricious,” Spirit stated.
Spirit requested that the DOT reverse its tentative decision finding Alaska to be an eligible incumbent and award the two slots to Spirit instead.
Spirit had applied to operate routes between San Jose Mineta International Airport in San Jose, Calif. and Reagan National. The ultra-low-cost carrier ended service to Reagan National in 2012.
JetBlue Accuses DOT of Favoritism
In JetBlue’s objection, the carrier referenced past grievances with the DOT, stating the department has been inconsistent in its decision-making and has shown favoritism for high-fare legacy carriers.
“Despite broad proclamations and promises to make airline competition policy a top priority, DOT’s actual track record has inflicted on the travelling public the opposite of what it claims to be doing: it continues to make already dominant carriers even stronger, while preventing smaller carriers from growing and thus comparatively weakening them,” JetBlue stated.
“The examples of DOT’s inconsistences abound: DOT has allowed Delta-Aeromexico’s immunized joint venture to continue with antitrust immunity (despite a DOT finding that Mexico has violated the air transport agreement) while not even allowing the proposed low-fare carrier Allegiant-VivaAerobus joint venture to be considered,” JetBlue’s statement continued. “DOT and DOJ would not allow JetBlue to grow in New York with the Northeast Alliance or grow organically with the acquisition of Spirit, while subsequently allowing the Alaska-Hawaiian merger to proceed.”
Rather than single out any one airline, JetBlue’s objection urges the DOT to revisit its decision and not proceed with the final order.

“DOT’s abandonment in this case of its longstanding mission to enhance competition, and to instead blatantly reward the largest, legacy high-fare airlines is the regrettable latest chapter in U.S. aviation history,” the carrier said.

Many passengers try to get some rest during long-haul flights. Like their passengers, crew members are also subject to the effects of fatigue. Airlines therefore staff many long-haul flights with multiple pilots to ensure that they can take turns flying the aircraft and get time to rest while in the air.
What Factors Determine the Number of Pilots Required?
The exact number of pilots required for a flight depends on several factors.
Government Regulations
Laws on pilot rest and duty hours vary between countries. The number of pilots required by law on long flights depends on the specific rules that govern an airline.
Airline Rules
Individual airlines establish their own flight time and duty time limitations. Many airlines make their rules stricter than what is required by law.
Flight Duration
The length of a flight is typically a key factor in rules set out by governments and airlines.
Crew Rest Facilities
In some cases, the rules governing duty hours vary depending on the crew rest facilities available on board the aircraft. Crew rest options could include bunk beds or designated seats in the passenger cabin.
Pre-Flight Rest Period
The amount of time off that a pilot has before a flight can also be a determining factor on how long they can fly for. Consequently, this affects the number of pilots required on long flights.
Time of Day
In some jurisdictions (such as the United States), the time of day at which the crew begins their shift is a relevant factor, as well as whether they are acclimatized to the time zone.
Duty Hours versus Flight Hours
The rules set by governments and airlines typically differentiate between duty and flight hours. Duty hours begin when a pilot signs in for duty, while flight hours only include the time spent flying the aircraft.
An Important Safety Requirement
Pilot fatigue poses a significant risk to the safety of the global air transportation system. Through their respective laws and rules, governments and airlines attempt to ensure that their crews are properly rested when they are flying.
As a result of these restrictions, airlines will sometimes have more than two pilots on their longer flights. This allows pilots to take turns sitting at the controls of the aircraft. Pilots are given assigned breaks, during which they can use the crew rest facilities to get some rest.
How Many Pilots Are Needed for a Long-Haul Flight?
Although the exact requirements vary between jurisdictions, countries typically require at least two pilots for most commercial passenger aircraft. In the United States, for example, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations stipulate that a minimum of two pilots are required on aircraft weighing more than 12,500 pounds.
The regulations surrounding long-haul flights are complicated. In the United States, the rules governing a particular flight depend on many of the factors described above. A two-pilot crew, for example, can have a maximum of eight to nine flight hours and a maximum of nine to 14 duty hours. The exact numbers within those ranges depend on the start time.
On top of that, the rules are different if the pilots are not “acclimated,” which is defined as “a condition in which a flightcrew member has been in a theater for 72 hours or has been given at least 36 consecutive hours free from duty.”

These regulations mean that some shorter long-haul flights can be flown with two pilots. When it comes to longer flights, U.S. regulations consider the start time, number of pilots, and the type of rest facilities available. For example, a three-pilot crew on an aircraft with proper crew bunk beds who have a scheduled start time of 4:00 p.m. could have a maximum duty period of 16 hours. Meanwhile, a four-pilot starting at 8:00 a.m. on an aircraft where the crew rest facilities consist of lie-flat business class seats separated by a curtain would have a maximum duty period of 18 hours.
While governments set out laws surrounding duty hours and pilot rest, many airlines and unions choose to make their own rules more restrictive than what is legally required. This means that different airlines operating the same route may not have the same number of pilots on their flights.
Generally speaking, flights longer than eight or nine hours will require at least three pilots. Flights that are longer than 13 or 14 hours will typically require a fourth pilot. However, the exact number depends on the specific circumstances of a flight.

After a nearly five-year pause, British Airways has resumed its service to Bangkok with a Boeing 777-200 aircraft. The British flag carrier will operate three-times-a-week to the Thai capital city from London Gatwick. The route will see a further increase to five times per week in January and February 2025.
In response to the pandemic, the British airline suspended flights from London Heathrow to Bangkok in 2020. Later, the carrier provided the service to Bangkok by codesharing with Qatar Airways.
“We know that Bangkok has been a highly anticipated route restart, so we are thrilled to see it firmly back on our global route map,” Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ chief planning and strategy officer, said.
Trent 1000 Issues
The airline has successfully resumed its service to Thailand. However, it suffers a major setback in spreading its wings to other Asian countries. Earlier, the airline announced that the launch date of flights to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia will be delayed by six months. In addition, the flight frequencies to Doha, Qatar will be halved as a result of delays in the delivery of engines and parts from Rolls-Royce. Its Trent 1000 engines power the Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Moreover, the carrier has cancelled 103 flights between London Gatwick to New York-JFK from Dec. 12 for five months over the engine issues.
“We’ve taken this action because we do not believe the issue will be solved quickly,” British Airways said in a statement to the Financial Times.
The airline took delivery of its first 737 MAX in September, which entered service on Oct. 20. Allegiant initially planned to take delivery of the new jet in early 2024.
“The Boeing strike has obviously created some additional uncertainty to our latest delivery forecast, and we don’t see this being firmed up until the strike has ended,” Allegiant chief Greg Anderson said during a third-quarter earnings call.
The carrier touted the 737 MAX’s efficiency over its current Airbus fleet, including a 26% improvement in fuel burn. Allegiant has 50 Boeing aircraft on firm order with options for 80 more.
“Based on delays resulting from the stoppage so far, we are planning to end the year with just one MAX aircraft in service alongside 121 A320 family airplanes,” the airline’s CFO Robert Neal added.
In 2025, the airline says it is planning for a “slower delivery profile” of Boeing aircraft, compounded by the strike. In addition, Neal shared that the company is revising its purchase agreement with the manufacturer.
