        Just wondering, why SWI? Why not -SWE? Was it randomly selected?

          Probably because it's SRI as well?

            Does it really take close to two months to paint such a simple scheme on a 77W??

                I take it as you didn't read the first page of the thread?

                  I did but it all seems like speculation nobody have confirmed what it will be like.

                      Isn't the star easier to paint than the sq logo? What's taking them so long?

                        It's heavy maintenance checks could be planned to coincide with it's painting, thus the hold up. It's tail could be seen peeking out from hangar 2 now.

                          heavy check + repaint + something discussed in another thread.

                            Although the different scheme is nice to look at, it's a pain for other pilots especially at night. ATC will issue instructions e.g. "taxi behind the Singapore Airlines 777 to holding point..." If the tail is painted with a non-standard logo, pilots may not know whether or not they are identifying the correct aircraft.

                                The Star scheme's been around for a long time, and the SkyTeam livery has a similar concept as well. This "problem" is not exclusive to SQ painting SWI with the standard Star livery.

                                In any case, I don't think Star liveries are so common that you'd have so many taxiing here and there until pilots are confused.
