Good one CIRCUITB. I'll take that as tongue in cheek humour. I don't know why, but at my mob most of used the term GE as opposed to CFM or SNECMA, just seemed easier to say I guess. And it was essentially a GE engine, right? Ran on RPM - no EPR.
Your post tweaked my curiosity however and I came up with this tidbit which was news to me:
"CFM is not an acronym, so it doesn't stand for anything. The company (CFM), and product line (CFM56), got their names by a combination of the two parent companies' commercial engine designations: GE's CF6 and Snecma's M56."
