British Airways "Shuttle"
Hi,
How does a British Airways "Shuttle" flight appear to ATC. Does it come up as SHTXXX or BAWXXX ? I was just wondering as BA is still the flight operator, it's simply the callsign thats different.
Regards

At Manch,
On the "AMOSS" screen, [An Airport wide ATC/Handling Agent/Apron...etc] It apperars as BAW SHT3N
However on the Flight Progress Strips for ATC, they are "merely" SHT3N

Yup, at ScACC as well. SHT7W and so on. The numbers refered to the destination - 2 Heathrow-Glasgow, 3 Glagow-Heathrow, 4 Heathrow-Edinburgh and so on. The letter at the end was the specific flight of the day, not that they seemed to go in any particular order.
In the good old days, the Shuttle callsign prefix was simply the two letterd 'SH'. Shame there was never a Shuttle One as we would eventually have had a 'Shuttle One Tango'.

There used to be a Genuine [Oily, Dark Brown Wooden ] Shuttle on display at Manch, then some plonk, painted it in BEA colours
