That's just awful practice! It's got a name, use it!

(Yes, that sorta stuff annoys me ;) e.g. people talking about v2.04 of $project, when they really mean v0.204 - sure, I get it, but at some point the searchability for issues on the internet is going to be screwed!)

It's not in this case. B738 is the official icao code for the aircraft, just like B38M is for the max.

Oh, well that's totally different then. Still feels weird to "consume" other potential model numbers like that though :)

When you have limited space to show some information, sometimes the space it takes up needs to be reduced.
