Clarification of airline codes for us ignorant types

[Salukipilot4590]

I just love busting out the AX code and confusing everyone.

Read what Jim said.

As for you being lost...well, that's obvious. :laugh: I care not to explain again, don't need no smokin' heads.


Enjoy, have a beer. :beer:

Whatever. Jim put a good response. You've just not made sense from the start.

Forget it, you are hopeless.

Jim basically said exactly what I said, minus the reservation part (hadn't come up yet). Im not sure you will be able to comprehend that, but it is.

9E = ?
9L = ?
XJ = continental express (or express jet, whoever the hell they are now?)
OH = ?
EV = ?

sure would be nice if folks used actual airline names instead of these codes randomly drawn from nowhere. thx.

Pompous aren't you? Like playing Trivial Pursuit?

I've flown at airlines for over 12 years. I don't know all these codes and I don't care about these codes. I know my airline's code so I can give it to gate agents when jump seating. Knowing any more is just trivia.

I agree with AA73. Just use AA, SWA, DAL, HAL, AWA USAir, etc. It's easier and those of us who don't care about wearing a secret decoder ring to prove we're "in the industry" can usnderstand who is being ragged on today.

BTW, I've never been taught to use a reservation system either - not my job as a pilot.

Sorry if it comes off as pompous. But it's those at majors that know nothing of regionals, that bad mouth them (regionals) the most. Most have military time in their signatures. Before you state how bad regionals are, or unsafe, or leading to the demise of the industry, it would help if you actually knew something about them. It's these oblivious individuals that do, and have done the most damage in this industry.

Rant over... Sorry if the above does not define you.

Who the heck is CP???

Compass.

Atlantic Coast Airlines certificate morphed into Independance, purchased by NWA in bankruptcy and by means of a mainline concession (SJet agreement) allowed to be turned into Compass. Now sold down the river to TranStates Holdings.

Thanks CptOver... I was being sarcastic in response to the poster.

p.s. I am former ACA (read: DH!!) Just kinda lost touch with all the new regionals out there, and who's buying who, etc.

Not knowing all the codes does not mean someone does not know about the regional industry. I fly Boeings, I know nothing about Airbus. Does that mean I know nothing about being a pilot?

Again....it's trivial pursuit.

BTW - military turn you down? Lose the attitude toward those who have sacrificed and served their country. Try thanking them instead.

 

[ChickenSled]

Who in the heck comes up with EV for ASA

That one stands for Evangelical Vagina's. Papa Papa was already taken.

 

[CptMurf]

Give it up guys. This industry is in major flux. These things are changing faster than anyone can keep up with.

... what a great regional that was.

You said GREAT and REGIONAL in the same sentence. Now that's funny.

 

[CX880]

Who ever uses the airline codes to speak on forums either has deep issues or is a collegiate aviation grad. I agree with the OP, it's very annoying.

That's Trans States and ironically I think it was for the fact that they flew American Connection(Xpress). They should change it to FU

haha, I guess theses days that can be considered an oxymoron. ACA was a great place to work, regional wise, back in its day.
