unprofessional swissair pilot
what does the international community think of pilots refusing to use the crossair callsign on wetlease flights e.g. crossair flights operated by swissair? instead they use "charlie romeo x-ray" and thus confusing every atc unit which have to make a second call to confirm the flight's identity.

Perhaps they just want to make sure they are not confused with the LX guys that can't see the difference between Sion and Aosta, land on frozen lakes, overrun the runway in Sarajevo and - I probably shouldn't say - crash into forests on a VOR approach way below all the minimums...
By the way: is it safe if every second aircraft flying around ZRH calls itself Crossair threethousendsomething?

Rather childish, embarassing, ridicolous, the whole story.
All the little boys want to be pilot or policeman and if this is true there are really some little-boy-pilots. And by the way there are as well some little-boy-policemen.

I occasionally heard that phenomenon when Little red riding hood (Niki Lauda) wetleased an aircraft from Austrian Airlines. Their pride did not allow them to say his name, they called "Lima Delta Alpha". We thought itīs funny!
@skypointer: it is really a safety problem if every second acft flying around ZRH calls "Crossair threethousandsomething". We struggle a lot with this. But they found a solution: every second acft flying around ZRH is calling "Switzerland threethousandsomething" now, as Moritz Suter said above!
