Callsign Question

[Dangly Bits]

Does anyone know who the callsign "Bluey" belongs to?

By the way - does Polynesian Blue call itself anything different?

"POLYBLUE"

only ever heard them call themselves Bluebird in Fiji

"VEE-OZ" certainly confused the sh1t out of the SOCAL approach controllers one morning when V Australia first started ops into LAX!

"Bluebeard" I thought it was ;-)

When we're operating as Polynesian Blue (only on sectors into and out of Samoa) we still use the "Bluebird" callsign. I for one am pretty happy about that as I've only got a small brain and having to remember two callsigns would be a challenge!!

I heard a "bluey" making a position report at FL420 last week, thought it was some sort of military aircraft.

Me too! That is why I asked. Actually mine was at FL410. So what would cause a VB 737 do an international flight? Is it a new aircraft from the states or a charter?

Some Pac Blue flights (all DPS and some NAN) flights are operated by VH registered Pac Blue aircraft and VBA crews. These services use the Bluey call sign.

The 737 ceiling is FL410 - either what you heard was not a 737 or you heard incorrectly
