Title: Glossary of Commonly used terms, abbreviations, acronyms
Post by: swiftus27 on April 23, 2010, 06:35:51 PM
In an effort to help the newbs, I want to put together a glossary of commonly used words that aren't common knowledge:


CI: Company Image
L/F or LF:  Load Factor
PAX: Passengers
RI: Route Image

SAMI:  You lord and master


Please post those that you can come up with

Config. = Seating Configuration
MTOW = Maximum Take-Off Weight
PAP = Passenger (Singular)
Red-eye = Over night flight

Would a few generic forum terms too like AFAIK and IMHO be ok to add as well, as unknown ones do pop up?

EDIT:  Well, unknown to me anyway  :laugh:

ASK = Available Seat Kilometres

RPK = Revenue Passenger Kilometres

Kind of self explanatory

The latter is measured in cents (as in-game currency is dollars)

Might be more prolific now more economical data has been introduced

So considering the person that I'm thinking about is clearly missing SOMETHING out of these, what would that make him? An Australopithecus?

When you say:                    Has someone accidentally admitted to having multiple accounts?  Does it matter if you had one and then you create a new one because thats what my cousin did    . He is based in KPPR  ,  Kunming  Zheng He in MT5.

Is that allowed?

You're the biologist...

I'm not qualified to talk about such things.

If they do exist, I agree that it is a very likely possibility.

Well, that competition won't last - your cousins account will probably be shut down shortly because it is against terms of service.

Congratulations on singlehandedly wasting your cousins money for no reason  ::)

Correct me if i'm not mistaken but there might be a commonly used sentence that goes something like: ''Its just a computer game its not the real world"

This is a simple conditional statement.
p->q

The truth value is true.

Also, q->p for this conditional is also true. Therefore, the statement is a biconditional.

Unfortunately, in my experience, the biconditional's truth value is false. :(

Anything else you would like to know?
