Name that airline competion

Come on guys an girls....lets have some fun. With the imminent official announcement from QF about their LCC a/c type (gee wizz...I can't wait), I wonder if naming their new venture will also be a part of it - or will that be drawn out for yet more intrigue(?) and another fun, exciting announcement further down the track (oups, that line sounds like someone else talking). To start y'all thinking (although I'd quite like Skimpy to be selected) how about Shaft (in line with the thinking behind their current flagship rego .....EBA). Or "Geoff" (nah...., not really - it ain't three letters like TED. The hosties could be called Dixie Chicks though.) Or "STPO" (Amercian for STOP) and the antithesis to "GO" which we all know went top down/bottoms up. As for a suggestion for a prize to the winning entry, how about two weeks unpaid leave shovelling cement/carrying bricks on some sort of deserted island off the QLD coast. You get the drift......I look forward to reading all your inspirational replies...!

Hey why dont they call "TAB air".
They could do a deal with the TAB and have Sky Sports and the races on the TV screens live. Also have a punters Bar in the back and possible bikini shows in the back for bored punters on their last buck. Make the fares reall cheap, but make up the difference with the Bookies box takings . What ya think?

I think im on to something. Hey if theres "Hooters Air". Maybe we could have " Crazy Horse Airlines". Ofcourse the theme may not suit all genders, Im sure theyd get a following. Id definitely pay 60 bucks to get in

Lets see. Looking at other LCC names, they're catchy one-word titles. "Go", "Buzz" etc

What we need is something Australian and vaguely suggestive of Women.

I know,


"Barbie"

Kanga 767, are you really Australian??? Barbie, is as american a name as you can get, if you were to follow your guidelines there is only one option for a name and that would have to be,


SHEILA

Talking

.....Might go throw some snags on the Shiela....

AND as fiercely Northern Territorian as I am, I don't want the first aircraft named after some queensland crocodile dude, I want the first aircraft named "Amanda V"

How about

"MATE "

which stands for

"Merely an Australian Transport Enterprise"

or

"BLASTAIR"

which stands for

"Black Stump Airlines"

or

"WOMBATAIR"

which stands for

'The Airline that digs itself a hole"

Just a thought!

What about Ppruneair..'we'll get you moving..'

Well, that's just about as ridiculous as I could think up given the circumstances!!

What about DICK SMITH AIRWAYS, in honour of the man who seems to call all the shots in Oz aviation. And the airline could be ran based on his good old affordable safety, that is only service the aircraft when something breaks, water down the fuel, and get low hour GA pilots to fly the aircraft.

surprised they aren't trying to steal VB's thunder and call themselves "QANTAS BLUE".

Maybe even TAA will get another guernsey ?

or what about "MONOPOLY AIR" ?
