kaukau: " FCA " 
That'd be FCC. See {Communications Act of 1934}
Brendan "..no US airport code is allowed to start with K, N, or W because those first initials are reserved for radio stations .."
The complete US radio prefix list is A, K, N, W; please explain all those "A" designators ?? And "N" tail numbers...
For every rule, the gov't will gladly provide no fewer than two exceptions.
If no rule exists, one shall be implemented on the spot.
Jtmom - an old favorite 'trick question' - 'Tri Cities' is the common name for MBS. Very different from TRI. Folks HAVE been ticketed to - and arrived at - the wrong place
What's that joke about departing Bison, NY ??
Good luck.

Elite
Qualifying
Miles
The "scorecard" for earning Elite status.
As opposed to RDM (ReDeemable Miles - - this is what you have to accumulate, to redeeem for actual free seats or upgrades)...
But I don't know what BIS miles are...

But it's interesting to know that Will Rogers World Airport (OKC) isn't the only airport named after a guy who died in a plane crash.
