I occasionally heard that phenomenon when Little red riding hood (Niki Lauda) wetleased an aircraft from Austrian Airlines. Their pride did not allow them to say his name, they called "Lima Delta Alpha". We thought itīs funny!
@skypointer: it is really a safety problem if every second acft flying around ZRH calls "Crossair threethousandsomething". We struggle a lot with this. But they found a solution: every second acft flying around ZRH is calling "Switzerland threethousandsomething" now, as Moritz Suter said above!
