[edit] Call sign?

First Air is unusual in that it is one of the few international airlines that does not have a designated ICAO call sign., quoth the article, but the infobox says "FAB". Which is right? Jpatokal 02:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Both are the "FAB" is the ICAO airline designator and the other is the ICAO airline designator. In this case the most commonly one used is First Air but it's not official. Take a look at Air Canada as an example. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 00:12, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Despite the inclusion of the callsign FIRST AIR in the article the callsign does not appear in the official documentation (ICAO 8585 Edition 139) against the ICAO Code FAB (which is allocated to FIRST AIR (BRADLEY SCHEDULED) LTD.), so unless it has been added since Edition 139 and somebody can cite a source then I suggest we should remove the callsign. (It is possible to have an ICAO code without a callsign, it is also possible to have an ICAO Callsign without a code !) MilborneOne 19:44, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
