Good for you! This Deltuh pilot thinks a succesfull year is one where he only sees ATL twice. You're welcome to have my ration of grits.

I remember the transition from AW->US. Fortunately, there wasn't any transition from Cactus to US. I wonder how the East guys and controllers thought of that, having to refer to them as something else.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I'm having a little trouble with your new callsign."
"That's OK," the US Captain said, "We don't care what you call us as long as we get what we want."
That is a true story.

Funny you should say that. I was following a US flight the day they cutover to "Cactus". The controller was having a hard time, calling them "USAir" a couple times and then correcting himself.
"I'm sorry," he said, "I'm having a little trouble with your new callsign."
"That's OK," the US Captain said, "We don't care what you call us as long as we get what we want."

I'm a Deltuh Pilot now. I like Coca Cola, Grits and have even flown the mythical green slip a few times
