Call sign

A call sign is a nickname given to Starfleet fighter pilots. The call sign is frequently used in radio conversations, and is typically noted on the sides of a pilot's assigned fighter.

It is considered bad form to give oneself a call sign. Typically, call signs are given by one's co-workers.

Roslyn earned the call sign "Firecracker" from Johnathan Bucyrus for her fiery temper, and for her skills in basic fighter training. Roslyn subsequently gave Johnathan the call sign "Bulldog." (: "Slow Burn", "Wild Roses")

Sonya Fiehrer earned the call sign "Moondance" after Johnathan caught her leaving a dance studio. Her call sign was posted conspicuously on the side of her fighter.

Melora Lexis obtained the call sign "Hat Trick" by destroying three Cardassian fighters with only a single missile. She had previolsly received the call sign "Posh" for letting slip that she was looking forward to a perm and a manicure following jungle survival training.
