A couple acronyms that I need help with.

[pavelump]

I haven't received my decoder ring yet. Can someone please tell me what these mean?

MEC

RJDC

 

[Flying Illini]

MEC....?
RJDC...Regional Jet Defense Coalition...I think.

 

[PCL_128]

MEC - Master Executive Council (each Airline's union leadership basically)
RJDC - Regional Jet Defense Coalition (do a search, you'll be reading for days)

 

[RJP]

Does that mean they're going to hang missiles on RJs to defend the friendly skies?

 

[Cardinal]

NGPA?

 

[EagleRJ]

[Way2Broke]

[Bank Angle]

How about some TNA??

 

[Clutch_Cargo]

Anyone know what TKS stands for? Or even better does anyone care?

T - Technic Ltd.
K - Kilfrost Ltd.
S - Sheepbridge Sintered Iron Works

The three companies that developed the system sometime back in the WWII era.

Does anyone care? Maybe, maybe not. Used properly, this little bit of info can be used to acquire a beverage, maybe several, of your choice without you having to pay... that makes it worth knowing. Cheers!
