Who gets to name fixes?

[bflynn]

If you want to have some fun, put in 5 letters that are close to your last name. I'd have to fly Y578 off shore from Nantucket to find mine.

Well, I feel slighted. Who do I talk to, FSDO or should I go to my Congresswoman?

Dude. Yer like in the inner circle. Come up with something for us. Like PPOAA THRED LOKED

THRED is in the English Channel. THRRD would work. PPOAA is ok. LOKED and LOCKD are both available.

Bit of a thread jack, but naming classified operations is similar.

the good ones are already taken so you have to choose from a list

Get 'em before they're all gone, only 11,881,376 to go around.

Don't forget get they have to be pronounceable... Sort of. That narrows it down a bit.

So how do you say VPFTS? (see shoreline waypoint in Chicago)

That one is pronounced VPFTS. Rhymes with VPGCC but they're far enough apart not to get confused.

I’m using Gold Seal online GS for my IR. I love one of their SID examples….the Cleveland ZAAPA departure which includes DINAA MOHUM ZAAPA YELOE SNNOH DWEZL PUUDL. The aeromed division needs to lighten up like the groups responsible for naming fixes. Now I am off on my pygmy pony to find my zircon encrusted tweezers. RIP Frank.
