So lets have some fun with this. Cathay needs a name to put on the side of the fuselage.
It’s an Airbus A330! Also names if it were a 744 or a 777.
The Bus is going to take a thrashing over this me thinks.
In honour of Phillip, we should name it “MAXIS”. You can still get a cake onboard.
Or "Hanger Queen", sorry thats the A340-600.

"Heavy Bullet" if it was a 747F.:)

Whole different meaning of clearing the other end at 15’ or 35’. That’s the 747 Classic. That is with or without 1 eng inop. Don’t think the engines will carry you that far.
But what is a name:????
“Glutless Classic” or “Scream for the End”

I always thought it would be awesome to name your ac after girls, so you could say "who you ridin today" " Um....Betsy I think" "Man she's a sweet ride though" "Yup, nothin like riding a fat chick"
And so on.

There will be no additional A340s joining the Cathay fleet. Only A330s, 77Ws and 744s.

"We earned 3.3 billion in profits last year, wormed our way out of paying any profit share to our employees, and all I got was this lousy paint job..."
though that might be a tad too long to fit lengthwise on a 333...

100th Aircraft....
Call it "Centurion" and send it to Rome.
Call it a "Great Century at Bat" and send it to London.
Call it "0.000000000001%" and send it to Shanghai to represent the population.
If its a 747F call it "Tonnage" and send it to USA, and watch them scractch their heads wondering how many 1000kg to the lb.
:ok:

They could call it Drone, cause if they don't get their training figured out they won't be able to get any pilots for it !

What are those brown skid marks, near where the honey cart plugs in? Maybe it should be called "Dia-Rear"
I actually submited "Kitty". I am stunned & gutted that I didn't win.
