mr2mk1g 10 #3 October 12, 2004 Try here: http://www.bpa.org.uk/glossary.htm It's a site from over here in the UK, but 99% of it is the same. Only real differences are where things like the term "S&TA" (Safty and Training Adviser) is replaced by the term "CCI" (Center Cheif Instructor)... or there abouts.

Sometimes it's about as appropriate. |I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane.
