Shuttle America's New Callsign

[dojetdriver]

On a beautiful summer day I was walking through Central Park enjoying a few days off from the grind of doing IND turns. On the great big lawn I saw two dudes kissing. Up until now, that was they gayest thing I had ever seen or heard.

When ACA was transitioning to Independence Air, a survey was taken of what the new callsign should be. One of finalists was "bubbles", no sh1t. I think I'd rather have somebody clamp my balls into a catapult and launch me into Central Park as watch the less than staright guys kissing and holding hands than use "bubbles" as a call sign.

I remember that I submitted F*ckUnited but TM said UAL might take offense to it. Oh Well

Crossroads NO MORE

The CROSSROADS callsign has been officially resinded by the FAA. Evidentily is sounds too much like "cross runway" or "cross taxiway".

"Toolbox" doesn't sound like anything aviation, maybe they should try that?

I'm kinda partial to "Tool Shed."

 

[DrewBlows]

disregard now!! hahahahaha what a cluster Fart

company just put out a memo saying disregard crossroads, even though the FAA aproved it because, too similiar too "cross runway and cross taxiway", whoever uses those callsigns so back to shuttlecraft.

So for all who want their callsigns that they voted on to win, you still have a shot

No kidding! How about "Clearedfortakeoff", as in "Clearedfortakeoff 6121 hold short runway one-eight left", "Hold short one-eight left, Clearedfortakeoff 6121". Who's on first?

by far the worst call sign is "spirit wings". it sounds like a maxi pad.

how about "king james" for a call sign? he rocked last night!

 

[TheRaven]

Now that the former holder of the Callsign is gone, how about "INDY"

 

[saab fixr]

I believe King James showed DTW last night, that even though Cle is Dirty etc. detriot Sucks. DTW rock city, should go CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE!!!

Sounds like someone let the flight attendants pick the new call sign...

Nah, then it'd be "Crosscheck."

 

[B727FA]

"Reverend" seems somewhat fitting...

That might be where they got "cross" from...knowing BB.

If they wanted to accurate they should call us FourGee XXXX as in the "Four G's of Shuttle America:" Gay, Ghetto, Gargantuan and Grandma.

And, for those of you at RAH, what do you think of "Wookie" ???

Be nice

If that is it, I am putting sounbites of the wookie on my phone to play to atc:beer:

 

[B727FA]

Nah, I actually like the Wookie. (I know, I'm a freak...) Cheers!

Nice Avatar CRJ!!

I thought the call sign was Crossroads cause that's where my career has been stuck!

Why does everything have to be in reference to Indy (the root of all evil at RAH)? There is nothing worth being proud of in Indy. How about "Bypass" for a call sign? That's a more realistic view of the morals and principles RAH is based on.
