Trash Panda is a slang name for a raccoon.

I heard that the Trash Panda window frame is a single piece unit that reduces weight and noise. No clue how accurate that is.

Yeah, that was popular back in the 70s, for both football players and airplanes.



Don't think it ever really worked, because no one else did it.

I think a cheaper option is for us to just put black paint under our eyes!

Guy on one of the Facebook pages refers to the 350 as a starship at a ridiculous rate. Even calling the cockpit a bridge. Somebody poked fun and said it looks like a trash panda and it stuck as a way to shut the guy up.

Just checked. It didn't work. Guy still likes his life and his job.

Trash panda is just too wordy to be a nickname. But now that I know the backstory, i like it. Still wordy.

The 321neoLR has it in the factory scheme. Maybe we get that?



Note the 2L/R doors removed and back to over wing exits. We get 1 more row off of that and the fAs lose their beloved 2 and 3 doors. /s
