pavelump,

Pan Am, the airline, is indeed "ancient". But to say that PAIFA has anything to do with what Juan Trippe started with some flying boats is a stretch. The name's the same...that's all!

Therein lies my sarcasm.

Doug,

Who speaks more clearly, Navy or Chair Force guys....I think the Navy might have the record with obscure terminology and slang.

I dunno. There's a gaggle of acro's that both use. But most people, once they reach the airlines (especially captains) generally stop shining their shoes, grow sideburns, get a cool haircut, put their feet on the base of the instrument panel, and start acting like a regular civilian!

However, in my opinion, I think the worst "acronym" guys I've flown with are former AF SAC pilots. It is interesting to ask the older guys about the cold war, "dial-a-nuke" and eery stuff like how the KC-135 pilots were supposed to give the SAC bombers ALL their gas for the sightseeing tour over the former Soviet Union and hopefully be able to find some ice field to land on dead stick.

BRR!
