How come Delta uses the term "rough air" instead of turbulence when making PAs?
I participated in one of the focus groups on that. Most of us didn't understand the term turbulence and were getting it confused with flatulence. Others thought "rough air" meant flatulence, but even with the confusion there was a simple majority preferring the rough air. Hence DAL pilots are not supposed to talk about turbulence or flatulence.
