Fabulous call signs

Airport control call signs are a remnant of military influence. Not exactly the brand association that many airlines are pursuing these days. And if you listen in on the flight deck proceedings when you're en route (I'm on my way to Chicago, so I'll listen for you), it's like war games with all of the Yankee Foxtrot whatnot.

Come to think of it, "foxtrot" is pretty fabulous in its own right.

Anywho...

Call signs need a brand refresh. So I'm taking the first stab. Please allow me to present the new "fabulous call signs":

  1. Ascot or Anywho

  2. Beaujolais

  3. Chihuahua or Champagne or Cutie

  4. Denouement

  5. Endive

  6. Fabulous

  7. Glamorous

  8. Hello or Hypocrite or Hypnotic

  9. Incognito

  10. Je t'aime

  11. Kumquat

  12. Louvre

  13. Merlot or Macchiato or Madonna

  14. Nantucket

  15. Oh my or Ocelot

  16. Pinot or Poodle or Patootie

  17. Quinine or Quintessential

  18. Remoulade or Roux

  19. Shiraz or Soy

  20. Tsk tsk

  21. Ugh or Uh-unh

  22. Vegan

  23. Whatever

  24. Xanadu

  25. Yolanda or You go girl

  26. Zinnias or Zigfield or Zealot


How much more interesting is my flight now? Got a better one? By all means, comment. This is an open source project. Roger, that?
