DFW controllers: the debate must be settled!!
how is MECHL pronounced?? Is it mekkil? Michelle? .. mEEkel??
 
Like many RNAV point, there is an etymology or theme. In this case, it is located very close to the MEdical City Lewisville heliport.

Not to start a "gif"/"gif" debate, I would pronounce it like "meh-kl"
 
Just like the age old dilemma going into TEB, is it pronounced Wilkes-Barr or Wilkes-Barry?

Wouldn't that be "meh-CIL"?

lol... well I know it's on the Forck2 SID... it was just an idle question, really - it's just funny how some controllers call it "mekkil" and some say "michelle" .. just figured there was a story behind it.
I just say it however the controller said it..
 
Is the INBRD fix near the FL/AL border “inbred” or “inboard” ? I go with the former, it appears to be 50/50 with ATC.
