The realops task should already be using ident_icao which is the ICAO flight ID. What's the difference between this and the callsign? Might not have made it far enough in training to know the difference here

I'm about to take a look here. The ICAO ident should be the callsign... From the example, I think this is referring to using the "VIR104L" instead of "VS104". Can you confirm this @kjporter

EDIT: It looks like right now we use ident. Should we be using ident_icao? The FlightAware example is not really that good

@iccowan I've started a DM thread with the person who reported the problem so we can get clarification. See Discord.
