Jenkins regarding your point re the RJ 100's yeah they were Cityflyer. However, Cityflyer did get bought by BA for 70 million , the 1st franchise then Subsidiary and the one that made the most profit . Since the buyout that the staff were balloted on which merged with BA Eurogatwick to form BA Eurofleet yes Mainline , where the RJ 100's that entered Mainline and then reallocated to the Regions,

We now have a management decree that we are not to refer to BACON as BACON!!
What sort of management publish such edicts that will obviously promote further use of such abbreviation? Simple - BACON management (yes they are simple).

So that makes the 146/RJ fleet "Smokey Bacon".
Most companies do a sanity check along the lines of "what will the new name be abbreviated to ?". This may be why there is no BOLsover & LOXley Building Society. The marketing fluffies must be having too much nutmeg on their lattes.
Oh well, out of the frying pan........

A recent experience has convinced me that the whole BACON thing is not sustainable.
I recently flew Manchester - Frankfurt return in C Class both ways.
On the outbound leg, I flew on a EMB145 with a total of 14 passengers on board (including me). The flight although quite pleasant, arrived rather late, for no apparent reason, just late.
On the return leg I flew in a LH A321 - a proper plane - sorry but it is IMHO.
The back end was near as damn it full and there were 23 passengers in the C Class cabin which is considerably more than the entire uplift of the BACON flight. On top of that, the experience was a true pleasure (but why always cheese with everything LH?) and we arrived exactly on schedule.
People do tend to vote with their feet.
