Update of FT glossary
 
http://www.flyertalk.com/glossary/index.php

The glossary does not appear to have been updated in some time. There are a variety of terms and acroynms that are not there (examples that are just TSA related include "TSA" "shoe carnival" "secondary screening" and "SSSS"). There may also be items that are no longer relevant.

Would it be possible to ask for a volunteer from the moderator staff to formally update this list at some point in the near future. Even though I'm not a moderator, I'd be willing to help, but I do not know the guidelines for what makes the cut and what does not.

Thank you for your consideration.

Very kind of you. Actually about a month ago we added some new things based on member input: CRC and Op-up. As well we are adding the following just now:
FEBO = Front, Even; Back, Odd. Refers to how meal orders are SUPPOSED
to be taken in premium classes. On even numbered flights, the FA(s)
should start at the front of the cabin, and on odd numbered flights,
at the back.

LRTC = Less Room Throughout Coach. Refers to AA adding seats back to
Coach after removing 'rows' of seats and heralding the extra room with
the MRTC (More Room Throughout Coach) marketing campaign.

All based on member input. There is actually a link to an email address at the bottom of the page for members to send things in.

If you'd like to help us by gathering up some that are missing and send them along to [email protected], we'll review the explanation of the glossary item and then post right up.

It is appreciated when our members want to help make FT an even more valuable place.
