Re: Cargolux pilots go on zero tolerance campaign
Cargolux is probably one of the few non English speaking airlines who communicate internally in English - there are around 24 different nationalities in the flight-deck alone. This has lead to a few peculiar terms being adopted, possibly being a translation from other languages or from US English.
So in addition to the above
Zero Tolerance Campaign = Work to Rule
Off Days = Days Off
Vacation = Leave
Pairings = Trips
On the Road = Downroute
and most curiously of all
Proceeding = positioning
This last is used predominately by the Germans and I have never been able to work out what "proceeding" has to do with positioning in any definitioning in an English dictionary.
Off thread but just a bit of background info. I am sure there any others I have forgotten!
