Default Why can't we change our Screenname?

I'm wondering why we aren't allowed to change our screen name. I know I will not always be a FO at Eagle, whether I wait the ten year upgrade or move on to another employer. I want to know how many of you would change your name if you could. If you could change it, what would your change your's to?

Well, here's a school of thought for your consideration. Say you left American Eagle and the circumstances were less than favorable. Quite frankly, wouldn't you want to tell them to F. O.?

In jest of course.

Back to the subject. Nope, wouldn't change it. Started on the MD-11 before it was built and was there to see the last one leave.

Always have been, always will be, an (MD-)11Fan.

Well, you see, it can be important to try and pick something non aviation related. Maybe related to a hobby, where you went to school, a military background, favorite character in a movie/T.V. show, etc.

Basically, something with a little bit of originality thrown into it

I wouldn't want to change mine. It's been an alias of mine since before AOL dial up even existed! Even though it has nothing to do with aviation, its pretty darn unique

If you have a question about site policy, feel free to PM the mods or ask admin, that would be HSLD or Freight Dog. Site policy is off topic and doesn't belong at the forums. Thread closed.
