Admittedly I had to look it up, and that explains it!

Next homework assignment is to figure out why the 787 is called Sparky, the scabcab.

Or my new favorite, "The Firebird".

I'd say Sparky it had to do with the battery issues the 787 had. As for the scabcab, weren't the majority of 787 Captains scabs?

I'd say that The Firebird, like sparky, has to do with the battery issues on the 787.

And the next variant of the DC-9 will be Archaeopteryx! :D
