Airline Terms and definitions
 

I hope this is not posted somewhere else (I'm search challenged so I could not find it) and I hope this is an appropriate forum. If not, MOD, can you please move the thread? Enjoy.:)

Hilarious! Although, it's not that funny when it seems to happen all the time with the remote parking shuttle at DFW.

serious answers?

WX means any other reason as long as there is some bad weather somewhere in the country, even if your aircraft didn't fly anywhere near the weather.

definitely serious answer:
direct: no meaning
non-stop: what others mistakenly call "direct"

estimated departure time (when it's posted to show a delay) - 10 minutes after the arrival screen shows the plane arrives!

Actually, less than three weeks ago in this thread - which began in CommunityBuzz but was moved here soon after. (It's a good list, anyhow.)

Fun list! Thanks for posting!:)
