Hiya JPJP,
I didn't mean to upset you, so I apologize. It is actually very common though for not just personnel, but the airline's themselves to refer to themselves by their code. For example, Skywest is OO, and I think Expressjet is XJT. CommutAir is C5. I figured it would be appropriate, since this is a thread about working in the US. Those who don't know what it is need only ask, but they'll have to learn it eventually, especially when they're doing some research on airlinepilotcentral.
