If you win, you have to go in a simulator. I almost voted, until I saw that!

Sneaky bstrds! If I ain't gettin paid, I ain't gettin in any sim!

Global Cruiser doesn't fit, because it's supposed to be a medium range liner.

eLiner would have been eTrendy 5 eYears ago, but now it's just eDumb.

Stratoclimber sounds like an exercise machine

Thus, the process of elimination leaves us with the Dreamliner... which is... well... meh.

Look at the "forehead" on that thing. How about Lurch?

Maybe it should match the current economy...StratoDebt.

(Whoever dreamed up "eLiner" should be eCastrated.)

I believe the e in eLiner is supposed to mean the same thing as the E in 7E7, efficient, not electronic.

And what the heck is wrong with 787 I ask? It rolls off the tongue a heck of a lot better than 777. All those flaming names sound like guitars or something. Boeing may have left Seattle but the forgot to leave the crackpipe behind.

I have to agree. "787" would make the aircraft part of an honorable tradition.

Let's not forget, however, that these are the same as_holes who gave us the "717" (more properly called the MD-95) and the "Boeing DC-3."
