Air Force to add oversight after officers lose pay over ‘egregious’ pilot call sign

OTTAWA — While the Royal Canadian Air Force plans to add more control over how fighter pilots get their call signs, a senior officer says there are no plans to abolish the nicknames — or the social gatherings where they are handed out.

… Exactly what form that structure will take remains uncertain, but Huddleston said one idea is to have a senior member in the room who will not drink and whose job is to control the group.

“Someone has to be there to be able to say: ‘Hey, this is stupid, knock it off,'” he said.
