It isn't 'smug jargon' it is the standard working abbreviations that aviation people use.
What p!sses me off is when people invent their own abbreviations for airports as in referring to Los Angeles as LOS.
Still as the complainee has a 'smug' user name only known to Latin Scholars perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised at their reaction.

Exactly.....
Mr Tosser, if you are so annoyed by aviation codes/abbreviations...on an aviation forum I might add....why don't you select a name that we "mere humans" understand.
Oh, did I mention the fact you're a tosser?!!

I think the post above just exemplifies the immature and infantile attitude of some users of this forum. Some of the others are none too thoughtful either.
If I upset anyone's delicate sensitivities with my plaintive frustration then I apologise, and yes, it could have been looked up too, but why should that be necessary? (perhaps someone had better look up "apoplectic" too, cos it was neither apparent nor present in my post).
fyi this is "surely not" something that most pilots would know as IATA codes are mainly a baggage and ticketing abbreviation that can include rail and bus destinations - and are not in wide spread use in any piloting function that I've ever come across. That's why it's use on a pilot's forum appears smug, and more particularly so in such a throwaway manner re somewhere as far off the beaten track as Accra. Assuming that just because you know IATA codes for every third world backwater destination (or for every airline in the world for that matter) then everyone else must do too is smug.
Sniping at user's handles is really plumbing the depths. Get a life.

Not to sure where youve worked but I think all commercial pilots, Ops staff, engineers have an undestanding of the codes that effect the compant they work for . it generally helps to give you an idea of where the hell you are going.

Whilst I know the IATA codes very well, I also know my way around the ICAO codes even though I am not a skygod.
Great news for Accra re the VS service. Accra has been trying to attract VS for many years and it is good that they have succeeded at last. Some excellent people in Accra for them to recruit their airport and country team from.

What does the following mean?
1. ''We operated to LGW with budget pax and were usualy around 90% full''
2. ''BA flying to LHR''
3. ''IATA''
4. ''ICAO''
5. UK (isn't that where you are presently located?)
6. LOS (let me answer this for you and those who don't know, LOS is Lagos, Nigeria and the wrongly assumed Los Angeles is actually LAX)
If you don't know the answers to these questions, scram off this forum and in your words ''Get a life.''
Plus it makes me think you've never flown out of your small box where ever it is.

Must be a new reason to go to Ghana.
