Dodgy callsigns from SkyWest flights

[brandon]

I was checking today's Mode-S / ADS-B logs and notice some rather strange callsigns from SkyWest Airlines. I have posted a few snippets from the log file below.

A20415 MATTSUXX N229SW E120 Skywest Airlines/... 2011/07/11 17:57:04
A2F71F BUTTSEXX N290SW E120 Skywest Airlines/... 2011/07/11 01:27:28
A2FE8D MATSUUXX N292SW E120 Skywest Airlines/... 2011/07/11 03:29:55
A31120 MATTSUXX N297SW E120 United Express (S... 2011/07/11 16:39:11

Searching previous records on these aircraft indicate this has been happening for some time. The call signs have also been changed on occasion and were mostly "x rated" in nature.

These were received on my Radarbox located in Moreno Valley, CA

LOL, sounds like Beavis and Butt-Head working the friendly skies.

GABLESEN is a default ID. Gables Engineering Inc.

ALLIED is also a default. Allied Signal is a manufacturer of transponders.

I've logged all sorts of 'custom' IDs. The 13 Sky West planes I have logged never show any ID.

Out of all of them, I had to actually laugh out loud for this one...

 

[kma371]

Yeah Im getting sick of seeing MATTSUXX. The need some new ones

I've seen KSFOSUXX and GORDWNGS (NHL fans would get it)

 

[gcgrotz]

This shouldn't be a surprise after the stuck mike incident with the SW pilots. Wonder what upper management would have to say?

Keep postin' em guys,,,

Haha, that's great! Wonder why I don't get any interesting ones here?!?!? Send them Skywest's over here!!! LOL

 

[DaveNF2G]

I didn't record the hex ID, but I saw N32MJ as MAGIC32 (Magic Johnson).

I also saw a plane that appeared to be registered to Continental sending BUFFETT (Warren?).

Bet that was just a joke, Buffett probably takes one of his NetJets.

Just goes to show how much the regional pilots really hate their jobs. I guess you gotta have some fun sometimes or else go insane.

Eh, I'd say having that much fun it's must not be too bad LOL

 

[freqhopping]

Got a Continental Express E145 passing though my area showing FATIGUE.

 

[KG7JEV]

Okay, dumb question? How do you find these codes? Thanks in advance.

Hit this nail square on the head....I would rather my son grow up to dig ditches than see him work in this industry, especially at the regional level.

You can't start out at the top of the ladder!!!!! (of course, there is a few exceptions)
