I recently used Orbitz to get a plane ticket to Seattle. While I have no problem with flying on an A320 (despite my recent chat-room gripes about the row numbering ), I am curious as to what they mean when they say "Victor"? (This is copied straight from their site):

I would have wondered if it had anything to do with the IAE engines the plane probably has. Those V2500s. But, I suppose Mb339's explanation makes more sense. Does NW 320s even use IAE engines?
