[PositiveRate]

Just heard on Q1 webcast - US Airways will keep "cactus" callsign going forward.

Positiverate,

Hope that info is correct. I've always thought it was a cool call sign, a lot easier to say on the radio, and would be a nice way to acknowledge the AWA history.

BTW, looking forward to this season. Coach Stoops has 'em going in the right direction. BEAR DOWN!

Yep, absolutely true. I was there yesterday when it was announced.

Which part is true?

Keeping "Cactus" as the callsign? "Cacti" as the callsign?

So the "US Air" callsign will become no moe?

i had made a comment the other day to a guy i was flying with that it would be cool if US Air at least kept Cactus as the callsign. Glad to see others agreeded too...!

The call sign will remain Cactus not Cacti.

Cactus rhymes with catfish, and a catfish is a bottomfeeder, so..... it all fits!

J/K!!!

Dumbass,

Where the hell do you work? That CFI pay still as stellar as I remember it. Those were the days.

Well seems as how all the "JetPiedmont" guys are about gone, might as well keep Cactus as about the rest are the AWA guys left.

When will the change actually take place? I still hear both on the radio....

Then what callsign will they use for pushback?
