Buck's correct. Fltplan.com, for a fee (not sure how much), will assign the "dot com" call sign with random numbers to a corporate flight so that the flight will remain anonymous. It's direct result of the bill (or what ever it was) that was passed forcing all private (read: corporate) flights to be trackable using online site like flightaware.com. Kinda bad if you don't want the competition to follow you.
