"Code Word" - What a Fvcking Joke
Cigar to those who can tell me what the "Code Word" is!!!
I know of two pilots, both with over 30 years each as professional pilots, who found out what the "Code Word" is, both by using it in the course of normal radio TX and ended up setting off alarm bells. Hate to be a doubter, but to have a Secret Code Word is fine, but its a conundrum to have a “Code Word” that is secret, and yet pilots are required to know the secret “Code Word” in case of trouble.
That’s too hard for me, I’m off to lie down and take a Bex…………….

Why not end this thread before some idiot actually reveals it - if in fact they know it.
Every time I have seen it used so far it has been in error - once by the air traffic controller!

Now that swh has given it away and every Capt has now to be reissued with a new one, there is no longer any need for this thread, so we'll leave it right there OK.
