Your getting a couple of things confused there. Until the late 1990s domestic flights used registration, international company flight number. During the strike, foreign airlines flying domestic used company callsign, I remember asking a Cactus Mel-CBR as he approached 20 dme south of Canberra if he was approaching top of descent
