Bye Bye “Redwood”

Virgin America plane in flight Source: Virgin America Virgin America is officially Alaska Airlines, at least according to air traffic controllers.

The airlines merged just over a year ago, but the deal was sealed in the eyes and ears of air traffic controllers Thursday when Virgin America lost its colorful call sign that conjures up its California roots: "Redwood."

A call sign is what pilots, air traffic control and other ground personnel use to address airlines. On Thursday, Virgin America flights adopted Alaska Airlines' simpler call sign, "Alaska," because the two airlines will operate under what's known as a "single operating certificate."
