Doug, I started using Compassion Flight etc and changing my 'N-number'. I was getting questioned so much by ATC, that I figured it wasn't worth it. So, now I just use my N-number, but if I need 'special attention' I add, "...and we're an Angel Flight today". Occasionally I also add "...and we have a really cute girl in the back who can't wait to get home" (or something similar). FWIW: That works like a charm, from jumping to #1 from #7 at PAO, to flying the PAO approach with no delay (in IMC) etc. But while getting handed off on a long XC, I just use my N-number. Hilton So I wonder how often using "Compassion" or "Angel Flight" makes a practical difference? Another poster noted that his brain was trained to hear his normal call sign and had missed "Compassion" more than once. Something to consider... Perhaps Hilton has the right idea.
