Emergency markings on aircraft exterior

I've noticed that on a lot of planes for example Boeing 747 there are markings on the exterior of the plane which say "in case of emergency cut here"

Does anybody know when the Holland Exel planes are getting their new livery? I've noticed that the flightnumbers for instance on the 31st of March already show HXL instead of the old HNL flightnumbers.

Air Holland /Holland Exel terrible mess!

Does anyone know what really is going to happen with the "old" Air Holland long haul holiday flights now operated by Air Holland planes under the Holland Exel flag?

Are the planes being repainted? Do they keep HLN code?

All the Holland Exel flights are hours (sometimes days) delayed since the new ...
