Compass Project’s New “Decoding Guide”

American Airlines aircrews need to know numerous codes, abbreviations, and acronyms. This Decoding Guide removes the confusion found routinely in scheduling, commuting, and pay codes for aircrews and focuses on individual codes, instead of strings of codes to employ.

The codes in this guide are organized in an alphabetical format, regardless of topic or department. The Category column describes where the code belongs, while the Name column shows the name of the code when applicable.

Codes are hyperlinked (when applicable) to other Compass Project guides or resources for more information.
