After Midwest Airlines and Frontier Airlines merged under the name �Frontier�, the airline added a badger to the planes� tails to placate some potentially angry Midwest Airlines fans.
To involve frequent flyers in the merger, Frontier Airlines is holding a contest to name the badger. The finalists are �Buddy�, �Cookie� and �Bella�.
In a recent post, HollywoodNews.com discussed how the name �Bella� has significantly risen in popularity among baby names due to �Twilight�. Little did we know it�s apparently also risen in popularity among airlines.
Having worked at an airline myself, I can tell you that no airlines, at least when I worked there, named their logo or mascot. Can you image if the �AA� that appears on American Airlines planes was named �Charlie�? Or the flag that appears on U.S. Airways planes was named �Uncle Sam�? The closest any airline has come to having a human name as part of its marketing is the now defunct branch of United Airlines, �Ted�. Clearly, the name didn�t help its success.
By naming the badger Bella, �Twilight� fans will ensure the teen�s household name far outlasts the final film, �Breaking Dawn� (as long as the airline stays around).
Do you believe the badger should be named after Kristen Stewart�s �Twilight� character or do you think the name should remain only as part of the movie?
I�m going to go check with my Magic 8 Ball, �Johnny Castle�.
