So, is it E.V.A. or EVA?
I recall reading that E.V.A. wants everyone to pronounce it as E.V.A. but it doesnt flow smoothly off the tongue so people in general has been calling it EVA. And i believe their callsign is EVA and not E.V.A. so Air TrafficControl calls it EVA far as I know? Someone know for sure what EVA callsign is?
E.V.A doesnt make sense anyway because its supposed to stand for Evergreen Airways, but then why the Airways again? Because they are E.V.A Airways. Which means two Airways in the name.
So all in all its better to go with EVA.
They couldnt use Evergreen Airways as the small American cargo outfit with the name of Evergreen Airlines owns that right.

I guess they could have called it Evagleen Airways??
just kidding. EVA Airways is fine as it is, but not E.V.A. Airways tho in my opinion.
