Narrative:

We were holding short of 35R at intersection of 3R at dfw. Another company light transport was holding short also, at the intersection of runway 31 with an aircraft behind him at the intersection. All company aircraft 35R is the landing runway at dfw for jets and 35L is propeller runway. We propellers take off from 35L and right also on 35R between landing traffic. The light transport at intersection 31 was cleared for takeoff and left. 31 pulled up and held short of the runway. It's real hectic takeoff between landing traffic with lots of immediate takeoff clrncs. An medium large transport landed and we were cleared into position. 'Be ready to go,' the controller said. He used the aircraft flight # to clear us into position. He then cleared us for immediate takeoff with traffic on 2 mi final, but used the wrong flight #, but correct runway and company. The frequency was overloaded and we tried to get a word in. I knew I had to go or pull off the runway!! We took and when tower told us to switch to departure and again used the wrong flight #. We told him again were XXX, not YYY. He said he got #south mixed up with the other aircraft, 'have a nice day!! Sorry.' dfw is a time bomb waiting to explode. No readbacks half the time and frequency overloaded. Can't get a word in. I hate that airport.

THE FLT CREW KNEW THEY HAD TO GET OFF THE RWY SO MADE THE TKOF AND CLEARED UP THE CALL SIGN ERROR AFTER TKOF.
