Personally, I don't think privacy is something you should have to pay for.

I'd pay $250 a year to use a callsign in a 152!

I can only imagine the ATC conversation:

"Ground dotcom 1234 taxi from Cutter, Bravo"
"Dotcom 1234 runway 8 via E1"


"Hey, Dotcom 1234, what kind of important person who needs privacy fly's that thing?"

I always wondered too, one day I just broke down and just asked the controller. A dot-com guy piped in and said flightplan.com or something. Anyway, just thought this thread was funny. Some people ask on here, it probably would've been a better place for it, but I just couldn't take it anymore!!

DotCom 1234 is the callsign used by a Falcon based in our area almost on a daily basis I think it kind of defeats the purpose when you use the same one all the time.

Fltplan gives each tail number an individual 4 digit call sign. The numbers for our airplanes don't change day to day. If you don't like the 4 digit number you get they will change it for free.

Even if you know the call sign it's still impossible to track. Even logged into our fltplan.com account we can't view their history.

It seems to be gaining popularity... sooner or later every bizjet out there is going to be flying under "DotComXXX".

No need for it now. The BARR program is back.
