Is there a decision on a call sign for combined US

[azfyer]

How bout just keeping "Cactus" due to the fact that we are now a desert based airline. USair is not even the name anymore. For instance...Aer Lingus = SHAMROCK, African Safari Airways = ZEBRA, Air Florida = PALM...I know they are gone! AirTran Airways = Citrus, Atlantic Coast Airlines = Blue Ridge, Chicago Express = Windy City, National Airlines = RED ROCK..yeah...etc. C'mon folks, lets get away from boring ole USAir!
STAY WITH...CACTUS

You answered your own post. All those names represent the REGIONS those companies operate in, REGIONS being the key word.

As opposed to "US Air," which has only been heard regionally for 10 years?

10 years? Where have you been?

Has "Greivance" been taken?

Let's hope they dont select "Lick" aka LCC

Which certificate will be the one kept in the end? I thought it was US's since the A330s, B767s, A321s, E70s, etc. are all on that certificate already.

Keep CACTUS

Very clever!

Who cares if cactus sounds regional? This isn't about impressing the public. A two syllable callsign is more expedient, plain and simple. Plus I'd do anything not to hear the occasional pilot who says "US Airs" on the radio.

I'll vote for keeping the Cactus callsign. Admittedly, my #1 choice has been taken by the Brits (Speedbird) and the really neat callsigns belong to the military, leaving Cactus my choice by default.

No harm in keeping cactus.

We could go retro....back to the days of Mohawk...

how about "hawker"? lol

 

[Flufdriver]

I vote to keep CACTUS, and I'm an "Eastie", and we could be fondly known as the "PRICKS" on the cactus!

As a fellow "eastie" I gotta say....I LOVE IT!
