USAFA = Air Force Academy or just "the Academy", because "I learned to fly at the Springs" makes you sound like a toolbag.

But most Comair pilots didn't go to the above institutions. If a Comair guy tells me he went to "the academy", and he's slouching, I'll assume he means Comair Aviation Academy and then inquire further if there's any doubt.

And then there are the rare Comair pilots that can say "I learned to fly at the Academy" and be referring to more than one academy.
