|  Re: Key JC terms and abbreviations
One may often see many "codes" used to identify airlines and airports. We tend to use these codes instead of writing out the name of the airline or airport because it takes less time to use a two-letter airline code or three-letter airport identifier than to write out the long name 
Some examples are DL for Delta, AA for American.....
Some airports are ORD (Chicago O'Hare), DFW (Dallas Ft. Worth).....
There are far too many airline & airport codes to even think about trying to list them all here, but here is a page that lets you search airline and airports and their codes to decipher them: http://www.airlinecodes.co.uk/

A captain I flew with used that term to express joy. "I got tickets to the Superbowl! WAAAANG "
I told him I would try to take his phrase Waaaaaaang nationwide

A bit off topic, but I saw a gal in the airport yesterday with a Football Club United Kingdom sweatshirt on.
At least I think that's what FC-UK stood for.
