So…you're wrong.
I think it's just an unnecessary inferiority complex the LCAL guys have since most of their flying was on the 737. They get their feelings hurt when their 737-900ER is called a guppy.
GMAB.
Airplane nicknames have been around since the beginning.
Get on board and have some fun with it.
Yeah, it's a real hoot.
I have multiple peers at SWA from the mil, along with Dal and AA, not one calls the 73 a guppy.
My feelings are far from hurt my friend...you are free to play your reindeer games. I just think it sounds ridiculous. My 2 cents only untied.
I offered the guy my guidelines on airline success and sanity. It's just a job...who cares.
New hires - on a lighter note...if you need some PBS help, PM me.
