Yep, still get confusing callsigns. Scratchpads to record instances were used about 2 years ago (again). Resulted in NATS developing a callsign deconfliction tool that would help airlines detect and rectify similar callsigns if they were going to be in the same bit of airspace at the same time.

Works to a certain extent, but still get similar callsigns now and again... probaby more to do with airlines not communicating with each other than anything else, though we still get the odd instance of same airline, same route, same time, similar callsigns. You'd think it would not be difficult for the airline to sort
