"You're the FO"

I'm the same old-school......grew up being called CFR, for Crash Fire Rescue.

In the past number of years, you've seen "Crash-Fire-Rescue" disappear off the sides of the crash trucks at civil airports, replaced by ARFF, or Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting, or just plain Fire Department. Reason was that it was thought that seeing the word "crash" would cause unnecessary anxiety amongst some aircraft pax. Some airports even went so far as to keep said-marked trucks off the flightline unless there was an actual emergency.




Ugggh.

see now the last part of that scares me. There are some, non emergency situations, that I may want them rolled anyway.
 
Having, in a past experience, been stampeded by some pax because the ac in the gate next to us had an apu flameout...I'm gonna go with the whole "better safe than sorry" thing. On the same note, I also once had an full on frenzied panic when our own apu sucked some tire smoke into the cabin right after landing...people in large, compacted groups do crazy things.... now we know why I no longer fly....its safer behind my desk!
