When the new resv. System comes online, you will see DJ disappear too...

Sorry, brain fade, I meant Q-Jet FNC's :O

Velocity
 

"VlossstySiksssteenssikssstySiksss turn left heading one sikss zero, desssend ssikss thoussand"

Poor old Kenny, got a pimple on your tongue after that lot old son :-(

Cuejet fish n chips coming soon to a frequency around you...

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.

Not all. More likely by some corporate nit-wit who's not ventured beyond an outer northern suburb of Brisbane. The concept is fine but its application in Asia is laughable.

CSky's already full of fokkers and ee-jits so why not :E.

Still not as bad as changing from excellence 123 to yellow smile three foxtrot oscar! Fortunately it did not last long.

A whole 2 pages on a call sign change, yet none of us at the rockface have heard anything :}:}

When is it supposed to happen?

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.

Funny as, GAFA :}

This is a rumour network, after all :8

You sure it's not hidden away in one of those spam management emails/operational directives that you skip through and don't read properly?

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? :confused:

For what it's worth, the Bauhinia is the floral emblem of Hong Kong. You mean to say you didn't know that?

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 :E

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.......

Being a weekend I think you are hopeful if you think it will hit your cascading inbox today.

Email sent today to flight crew advising of change from next week.

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.

:D

Sounded cool today. I'm waiting for the "Velocity XXX, request maximum velocity above and below 10,000ft". :)
