I wish I were flying tomorrow to constantly hear aircraft saying "Cact---American XXXX" all day long. Most of the captains I've spoken to have sworn to me they're so ready to be done with that call sign, they won't make the mistake even one time. We'll see.
I was in EWR the day Continental started saying United (trying to say United). It was hilarious.
