I think TED is called United on the frequency. Could be wrong though.

If 'Ted' operates under United Airlines operating certificate (as I belive it does), it would use "United" as it's call sign.
Just as "Song" flights are operated by Delta Air Lines, under Delta's operating certificate, and they use "Delta" as their call sign.

That's boring....Song and TED should operate under ummm
say it with me Song and TED.
Or something clever like "Cactus".

My favorite nickname for Southwest: ..."Corndog".
I always use it when I get the chance...
"SkyWest 3645 position and hold Runway 24L, and report the departing Southwest 737 in sight, caution wake turbulence."
"Position and hold 24L, got the Corndog in sight, SkyWest 3645"
Usually, always get's a hardy har har from the southwest crew.

The AIM has a few of them, mostly the popular airlines.
It is amazing what you find when you actually read through that book.

I've always wondered what the "Candler" link is to Atlantic Southeast? Anybody know?
[/ QUOTE ]
I believe the guy that started the airline was named Candler. I also heard his first name was Asa. Haven't substantiated that yet, but if that's the case, talk about an ego maniac.

Actually, Asa Candler was the founder of Coca Cola. He bought the formula from a local drug store owner for like $2000 dollars. I think when he cashed out he got 25mil. Not a bad deal. I would guess ASA uses it as they are based out of Atlanta (the home of Coke, as someone already posted) as well as they happen to share letters with the guys first name. What I want to know is why is it coCa cola but coKe when we shorten it?

Yeah, Candler was just pulled from some Atlanta history when they needed a new call sign. When ASA started they went by the call sign A-S-O. This caused some misunderstandings on the frequency, say it fast a few times. Then they went to A-SEE. Then it changed to Candler, never heard why.
