This is at the top of my list too. However, your comment is unnecessary. While CI has had safety incidents in the past, their track record is very good of late. They have greatly improved. I flew them last year to RGN and was very impressed with them.
I didn't hear anyone say Springbok yet. That's another classic.

Must have been passed down
That was our call sign at Republic Express
in the 80’s
Always thought it was a good one
Prior to the merger with UA there was a

call sign for brevity’s sake
My suggestion was ‘Cal’
It was not taken up

I was just stating what I heard. I too, like them. It is one of my favorite airlines, their service is much better than SQ, NH, or TG, in my opinion.
