They couldn't tell the difference between Delta and Southwest on the radio?

"1328, stop, stop stop!" the controller shouted, according to audio posted on the website LiveATC.net.

"1328 stopping," the pilot answered in a calm voice, before the controller directed both planes to different taxiways.


Guess they just use the numbers over the radio.

And 1328 vs. 3828 sounds pretty close over a radio.

I used to fly. Normally in the terminal area, takeoff, approach and landing, full call signs are used to avoid these types of events. In cruise it really isn't a big deal.
