Remember, you don't hear other airlines calling it the Guppy (which really is an Airbus product anyway). It's only you L-UAL guys.
Not true...I am a guppy f/o..cal hired. I have called it a guppy for years and still do..and will always. It's so not a slam to my airplane, I also call the 747 the whale..787 is sparky, md80/90 is a mad dog...sorry if it offends you, it's not a slam.
