Collective Nouns for Aviation.

1.A whinge of Pilots. (As in, oh no not another night Rhodes).

2.A snooze of Ops Officers. (As in, me sleep on nights NEVER).

3.A pressure of Commercial staff. (As in, can we do a lgw-gla-tfs-gla-lgw with a single crew and a 2300 dep??).

4.A comedy of Crewing Officers. (As in you must be joking-see 3 ).

5.An acquiescence of Managers. (As in sure we can-see 3 and 4).

6.A mutter of engineers. (As in, how do I know how long it will be before its serviceable??).

7.A confusion of Handling Agents. (As in, we don’t know when it will be towed onto stand).

8.A shortage of Air Traffic Controllers. (As in delays of 1 hour plus on the Hurn sector).

These are just a few I thought up, anyone think of anymore????.
