What does Diagonal 15 mean ?
Evening All
Having worked for an airline sometime ago, I used to hear over the ops radio when the aircraft had just got airborne and after reporting the load details would follow by saying Diagonal 15 or Diagonal 40.

Almost---
Diagonal is the same as saying 'slash' (common in the USA), or oblique - basically it's saying the backslash sign '/'
Pilot might say '1630 diagonal 45' i.e. push at 1630, airborne at 1645 - or as it's written: 1630/45
