   DG> Nobody gave an "F"? ;)   
       
   The photo indeed was silly but in most cases the names of the company are   
   merely stickered on. It's like a day or two work because otherwise the paint   
   had to be scraped off again and get a new expensive treatment.   
       
   Personally I find it a missed occasion for Cathay. That plane would've become   
   an icon, photographed everywhere, free publicity worth a fortune.
