I would have thought battle stances would have been drawn over topics that were more pertinent to the real issues facing the pilots. Oh, I don't know, maybe contract, safety...
Nope. Arguing over EFCA. What makes it even more amusing is that you apparently almost suffered a major mishap because of garbage maintenance...and pilots are 'swordfighting' over proper terminology. Wow. For a minute I thought I was on one of the regional boards.
MG must be pleased.
Procedures and terminology are discussed on these boards all of the time. Oddly enough, as the result of reading this discussion, more Airbus people now understand the acronym's meaning and origins and those on other equipment or that have transitioned to the Airbus understand that the term is not understood by all and perhaps should be avoided for the purposes of Airbus operations.
Now, the tone may have been a little juvenile (per what seems to have become internet SOP), but what's the harm in learning from each other?
