Abusive uncle, adopted by marriage, which is how Ethiopian says they've been flying Boeing products since 1945.

Correct. Hence, my attempt at humor. After the marriage of Boeing and MD, I cringed when I first saw support documents that said “Boeing DC-3,”

Having flown the airplane as a job, I hold the Douglas DC-3 with high reverence. Douglas beat Boeing’s arse in civil aircraft in that era. It would be like Ford buying GM and designating the Chevy Bel Air to the Ford Bel Air.

It's called a "Doug."

Calling it a "Boe" feels dirty; a bit like the shepherd stepping out with the goat.
