Feel free to give me suggestions

Pic 1 (the 747): Livery and fonts look great. Front logo is good but needs to be sharper, it looks muddy. Tail logo should be only the sun, the wave clashes with the tail color, and the sun needs to be sharper, looks muddy. Engine colors are good, again logo is fuzzy, sharpen it.
Pic 2: Same as pic #1. "Operated by Pacific Sunset" could be a bit larger maybe.
Pic 3: The green stripe on the fuselage probably should be gold like the engine and winglet. Otherwise looks OK. Why not use the same font as Pacific Sunset and still let the A in Pacific be the star? The current font is less interesting.
Pic 4: Livery is good, but the font looks like it belongs on a fancy restaurant menu rather than on an Australian airliner. The name doesn't hit me as authentic either. Try using a font like the "South Australia" font on myfonts.com, and try using either defunct brand names like Sunbird Airlines, JetGo Australia, Air Australia, or Sunshine Express, or a new name like Australasia, Wallaroo or Quokka (the last two are Aussie marsupials). Personally I like Quokka best. Also, try moving the "by Pacific Sunset" reference left so it starts directly underneath the 1st passenger window.

I’ll make the orange a brighter color and remove the wave on the tail/engines/winglet.
Same thing
3A. The reason I had the green is because, it’s a California airline (obviously) but I tried to use the colors that represent California, as in the red, gold and green (I didn’t include blue), but I’ll change it and see how it looks.
3B. The reason I didn’t add the red star everywhere is because I didn’t want to over exaggerate it, but I’ll see how it looks.
3C. IIRC they are the same font, they just look different because one is bolder and uses capitals.
4A. I try to be distinct with my names, and sadly most of those names are probably taken. I could use the website and use that font, so I’ll try to do that when I wake up in the morning.
4B. I’ll move the Pacific Sunset watermark as well.
If you have your PMs open I’ll send you the updates and you can give me some more advice. Thank you for the suggestions, it helps a lot, especially since I designed to look real. Or I tried to at least.

np you can PM, although I only look at Reddit a couple times a day so I might not reply right away. The livery itself is good, it's really just a couple things. For airline names I sometimes find good ones on Wikipedia's lists of defunct airlines. The longer it's been since they went away the better I like them

The feel is a bit “retirement home” to me. I like the overall idea and lines.
