Re: CAVALIER CALLSIGN
"PACS 15" could actually be "pax", ie shorthand for "passengers".

Re: CAVALIER CALLSIGN
There are plenty of documented cases where "pax" has been used as short-hand for passengers. After all, "pax" is a single syllable. "Pee-Oh-Bee" has three times as many.AO11912 wrote:P O B is the correct term for passengersZebedee wrote:"PACS 15" could actually be "pax", ie shorthand for "passengers".
It all depends on the context of what Glen heard. It may have been "pax" meaning passengers or it may have been "PACS" as an acronym for something.
