good ones Mark!

about Sabena, we have another one, if you understand Dutch: "Sex aan boord en niks anders" which means "Sex on board and nothing else".
of course it means (historically) "Societe Anonyme Belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation Aerienne"  ;)

Sex aan boord en niks anders"

Hehe

Cool! Do they fly out of Akron Canton? hehehe...(don't ask me why I chuckled, I guess since everybody else did...:-))

Not acronyms but when I worked at Gatwick Airport we referred to it as Gatport Airwick. One of the airlines (now sadly defunct) was Dan Air - commonly known by everyone as Dan Dare (an old comic strip hero). I still use these terms today. The airline management & employees didn't like that for some reason.

I don't think anyone but an old Brit like me would understand this at all.
