CALLSIGN CONFUSION...

As an ex-pilot I am familiar with the difficulty remembering the right callsign on the radio during the first few flights after you join a new airline. Slightly embarrassing but I guess we have all done it, and it is quickly forgotten. Perhaps a bit more noticeable was John Borghetti yesterday, at the announcement of Ian Thorpe's return to competitive swimming, and the sponsorship deal with Virgin Australia. Borghetti, now with V Australia but a Qantas man for many years, proudly told the waiting media that Thorpe would be winning 'many gold medals for Qantas...' http://bit.ly/eySTZp

What did he say next? 'I can't believe I just said that!' Nor can your new team John.
