Maybe someday it will be "Skyteam 123"

Tough
 
Switching was tough. Made for a rough day when the first call to ground didn't even go right. Only screwed up the call sigh 10 or 20 times on the first leg this morning.:o

I agree, it is going to take a couple days to "re-wire" the brain to listen for and say "Delta".

It is all good though and I look forward to our groups moving together in the same direction!

No, but if we were left with the Northwest call sign, it would have pushed old Bucking Bar right over the edge, and you just can't put a price on that kind of entertainment.

Well, at least we don't have to worry about being confused when the controller clips the call sign and all you hear is ..west123." I nearly got myself in a very bad spot by answering a call intended for a southwest with similar numbers several years ago.

Well, then they could then rename the taxiway and the entire concourse in ATL.

Yes, but now we will have to hear "Delta 123 in NW colors"
