Well in the above example, BA dispatch obviously know not to use the same trip numbers for different routes. I have had a number of incidents over the years of different operators with the exact same trip number in my sector which led to a couple of corrected read backs, EG ABC105 & DEF105. Submitting a report to Eurocontrol resulted in one of the carriers changing their trip number from “105” to “10X”.
JRCC and IMES will need to agree a list of trip/tail numbers for exclusive use by each entity now. Hopefully it occurs to them to do it.
Will the existing “UK Rescue” for land based coast guard stations still be in use? It would be interesting to have “Rescue 123” & “British Rescue 123” having to coordinate with “UK Rescue”.
