no logo lights till we get a TA I say

That'll show 'em! Nothing like a few unused lightbulbs to show our solidarity...

Safety reasons?????....I cannot fathom how they would be related to safety in anyway.

Safety is actually the #1 reason they're there. See and be seen. Here's what the manufacturer has to say about them...see if you can fathom advantage #1.

Tel-Tail Lights Give You Two Advantages

1. The Nighttime Safety Advantage
2. The Logo Lighting Advantage
A lighted tail at night really stands out! That is why over 135 airlines all over the world use DeVore Tel-Tail Vertical Tail Floodlights to light up their logos. With DeVore Tel-Tail Vertical Tail Floodlights - Every tail in your fleet is a billboard.​

Reading these airtan posts about turning the logo light off for solidarity however, is laughable at best and difficult to understand.

No kidding....it's rediculous.

I agree...A more productive use of time and energies would be spent volunteering for union activities/offices/comittees or the like. I'll never understand the mentality of not attracting/keeping customers until I get what I think I deserve. More customers=bigger benefits for everyone. But to each their own, I guess.
