Most places in SE Asia. "Velocity" will become "Ferocity". In Thailand it will be "Werocity".
Stupid choice. Clearly made by someone with no operational experience.

Don't worry you will find out soon enough when the controllers start calling you something else. Mushroom management is normally the game....keep you in the dark and feed you faeces.

So true Jarse, no FCON, OIC etc about it, yet on another forum they say it starts on the 29th of this month. I guess we will get the change then when we check the latest FCON on the 29th.

VAU (Vee‐Oz)
PBN (BlueBird)
VBH (Bluey)
VOZ (unofficially Virgin)
as one FNC ‐ VOZ (.Velocity.).

If only it has some connection with what's painted on the aircraft ... In Bali, when cleared for push back after 'Bluey passing behind', some local pilots are at a lost wondering which one is 'Bluey'. Another one is Hong Kong Airline's callsign 'BAUHINIA' .. like, what's the connection?

BuzzBox, it could be that this is an Australian forum and that the floral emblem of HK means little to us over here?
Still nothing from our company about the callsign change
Hempy, my inbox is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives (apologies to Mel Brooks). I do read my emails, but haven't seen anything yet.......

End of an Era.
"Velocity" is terrible.
And they think "Vee-Oz" was too hard for foreign ATC to pronounce so they reverted back to "Victor Alpha Uniform 123"..... Now they will just revert back to "Victor Oscar Zulu 123".
Who ever decided on that should find a new job along with the person who designed the new wings with "flat back threaded bolts" as fasteners that need a pre drilled hole's to rip through the jacket, and the captain planet clip art logo on the hats.
