If you're saying you want Flybe aircraft to display as Flybe/Jersey, then you could update each of their aircraft in Database Explorer, changing the field AC to read Flybe/Jersey.

I've done something similar for Loganair and Flybe:

That`s alot of aircraft, could it be attached to the airline logo for instance?

I guess it could.  Why not try it?

It took me less than a minute to change the database for all my Loganair/Flybe aircraft (using paste CTRL-V).

Ah - I see what you mean - I though you were talking about aircraft that don't transmit Flight IDs.

It would be a good idea to add that in the Future versions suggestions thread - should only be a relatively simple addition to the Airlines table.
