FWIW = for what its worth
LOL = laugh out loud
LMAO = laugh my tushy off
FIST = .... I have no idea? Why would a Captain say "FIST ME!" ?
BAHA = Bank Angle... HEADING! Angle? Heading Angle. I don't remember?
LAVS = works on the 88 if you make it Lateral Mode, Altitudes, V/S, and Speed. But I think we're supposed to use MAAAAAP.

AVE FAME (Avenue of Fame) = During lost comm then when it comes to your heading fly the last Assigned, last Vector, last told to Expect, last Filed, and for altitude fly the highest of the last Assigned, MEA or told to expect. [My instructor taught me that one 15 years ago when I got my instrument, go Ralph!]

Silliest one of all but it works...8 for 84 = Eight items on the cruise check, 1-tune NAV, 2-bank angle, determine min speed, 3-check the N1 is between 76-84 (hence 84), 4-weather radar check, 5-CL power, 6-fuel (update and balance), 7-FMS update fuel and cost index and 8-make sure ACARS is working or pull out the engine log.

Sorry if any of those are wrong. I'm lazy tonight and not double checking my post.

Thanks ...
You have to call them to cancel the one they built, then you can build your own, or have them build one.

Delta pilots helping Delta pilots! Just a few finger clicks away!

Apparently they closed Manas to all but military flights.

Unrest in Kyrgyzstan Prompts U.S. to Limit Flights at Base

FOXNews.com

Manas serves as a critical supply line for the war in Afghanistan, but "this has had no significant impact on our military operations," the spokesman said.

The growing political unrest in Kyrgyzstan has prompted the U.S. military to limit flights at the base it maintains in the Central Asia country.

Because Manas Air Base shares a flight line with Bishkek Airport, all flights in and out of Manas have been halted from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. local time, a Pentagon spokesman told Fox News.

Manas serves as a critical supply line for the war in Afghanistan, but "this has had no significant impact on our military operations," the spokesman said.

Opposition leaders declared Wednesday they had seized power in Kyrgyzstan, taking control of security headquarters, a state TV channel and other government buildings after clashes between police and protesters left dozens dead.

Since I am quoting Fox News, should I include pictures of Martha Maccallum?

To be fair, here is CNN world which is the best source of news besides the BBC and Al Jazeera in that part of the world.
