About the Flamer, I just mean, I rather have 'Flamer' than 'Hobo' or something...
(as long as you don't see it as 'Flaming' like flaming on a forum, you know? Which is, for people who don't know, hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users, often involving the use of profanity. )
"Hobo" would be a more desireable call-sign, IMHO..
You're not thinking in "Fighter Pilot"... In the world of "Top Gun" call-signs, "Flamer" would most likely mean that your squadron-mates are, shall we say, predicting the outcome of your next aerial-combat engagement, lol...
However, you'd likely be in better shape than if they tagged you with, say... , "Dead-meat".. 
Believe me when I say that my CAF call-sign didn't come from anything "cool" or "heroic" that I'd done, lol...
I got it in 1994 (which was, coincidentally, also the year that I received the "Golden Jackass" at the AirSho) and it was never "modified" (meaning I could keep it, alter it, or pick my own) until '98, lol... It was embossed in Bright Silver right on my jacket-patch, lol..
A word on the GJA. It's a trophy with a gold rollicking donkey and has your name, call-sign, and the AirSho date awarded on a small brass plaque, and it's given to whoever pulls the biggest, most assinine screw-up that does not result in injury to you or anyone else, and causes no major damage to or destruction of any CAF aircraft... However, minor injury and/or damage does occur sometimes...
