Whale? We call it the 400.

"Guppy" was never an offensive term at UAL.

LCAL guys take it as an insult for some crazy reason (all planes have nick names after all...)

Get over it fellas.

It's the Guppy forever.

Yes, because guppy is SO MUCH more offensive than 'Fifi'.

How about 'flying speed bump'? ... although I like Hawaiian RJ.

If you're implying that makes the term "Guppy" derogatory, I'm not seeing it.

No. RAH pilots where putting Guppy Killer stickers on their bags and jumpseating on UAL while RAH's 170 were replacing the UAL classic Guppies.

You got a picture of one of those Stickers? Even better a picture of one on a Flight Bag?
