Yeah, very funny. Here's one for you.
I heard a jetBlue aircraft calling on guard one day a few months back. They were out over the water (Puerto Rico flight maybe) and had a rapid-D. They were at 10,000 feet, and as such, Miami/Jax center couldn't hear them. They were trying to coordinate their position and fuel with a United jet who could hear them. Unfortunately, they had trouble communicating with them because another jetBlue aircraft with similar callsign numbers (who could only hear the United pilot) thought they were calling them on guard. So the other jetBlue aircraft was saying "You're on Guard" "We are in contact with Jax center thank you"
Comical. All the while his buddy was in distress. Good times.
