I've just dropped their title altogether. Los Angeles, Beachball 1234. Works for approach and center!

I don't even say who they are. They know who they are. "ABC 123 at FL 360." Done. One of these days I want to be @Derg's FO, even for s minute, just so I can say "aaaaaaand center, we're with you, level flight level 360, we've been gettin' a smooth ride since crossing the Mississippi, how's the ride ahead going west bound toward LA this afternoon?" His reaction would be amazing!

Just to make it better, instead of, "We're with you," try "AaaaAaNd center, Delta's XX, checking onboard with you, blah, blah, blah..."

Just add in a "HOWYADOOIN" in a busy sector and I will land the jet, quit, and just go home.
 
Ugh...the 's thing with a call sign drives me batty...it's on par with "Any traffic in the area, please advise". FO tried to argue with me about that, even after I showed him in the AIM where it says specifically not to use that phraseology..."Do you want to fly any more legs this trip?" :D

Maybe he wanted to fly ALL the legs on the trip. So you could work the radios properly. ;)

Murder. He intercepted that thing and flew pretty darn close to it. Even at night, if you can't identify a passenger 747 jetliner from a military 4-engine aircraft, you shouldn't be flying anything with missiles attached to it. True, they penetrated Russian airspace due to an incorrect navigation set up, but come on. At best it could have been a spy/recon plane, but a little aerial inspection would have shown this was a regular passenger jetliner. The guy defected and said he was following orders and believed in his mind he was shooting down an enemy. :rolleyes:

I can't remember if 007 had the tail logo light going at the time? Or something else that should've been a dead giveaway

Especially because 5 years earlier the Soviets had shot down a KAL airliner too! Luckily they made it to a frozen lake:

I don't think he cared. His quote:

He continued, saying that "I saw two rows of windows and knew that this was a Boeing. I knew this was a civilian plane. But for me this meant nothing. It is easy to turn a civilian type of plane into one for military use."



Some higher ups:


General Kornukov (to Military District Headquarters-Gen. Kamensky): (5:47) "...simply destroy [it] even if it is over neutral waters? Are the orders to destroy it over neutral waters? Oh, well."
Kamensky: We must find out, maybe it is some civilian craft or God knows who."

Kornukov: "What civilian? [It] has flown over Kamchatka! It [came] from the ocean without identification. I am giving the order to attack if it crosses the State border."

I had a ground guy in LA present me with a bag of air, "here's your air sample sir!"
I couldn't hold it in...

Once our logo lights are burnt out we don't replace them.

Haha what is it with DL guys and always referring to themselves as "Delta's 1234". I've noticed United doing it a little bit too.
