Speaking of Callsigns
I hear Eastern and Sunnies (and others?) are going to use "QantasLink" over the air and change to "QL" for flight planning etc.
"QantasLink1452, when ready descend niner thousand, QNH 1013"
"niner thousand, QNH 1013, Qantas452".
No prblems there I'd have thought; Surely a better option would have been a little creative with the "callsign", could still use QL for plans etc.
Other Options:
Red Tail
Kanga
Hoppa
Q-Link
Liitle Q
Q-Lite
Link
I reckon using Qantas as the prefix to Link is going to cause all sorts of problems that could easily be avoided. Who gets to "choose and approve" these things?
