Sorry. Gotta jump in here. I work in the airline industry and we use
744,
733, etc regularly. Have never heard anyone, not even people at Boeing,
drop the first 7. Not saying it isn't done, just not in this sector of
the
industry.

Shawn, welcome to Tarverland. :-)

Your assertion was that it's a "673" because you always drop the
leading 7. I can't find 673 anywhere in the list.

I expect those would be apropriate contractions for your correspondence
with
FAA, but here in the real world, the first 7 is dropped. Note carefully
that you have been corrected by an engineer, an air traffic controller
and
pilots. If you want to use an insider secret code, don't expect anyone
to
know what you are gibbering about.
