Gig
POB (Persons on board) is sometimes used instead of SOB. SOB has been used for as long as I can remember (at least in the Military). The abbreviation was used to expedite the passing of info for crash crew purposes. Without the acronym you would have to say "Two pilots, 3 stews, 25 men, 20 women and 4 children" all with hands full while working the emergency. The total "SOB" lets the crash crew know when they have recovered all the people/bodies from a crash and not continue to put crash crew at risk if all are recovered. The 'souls on board' does not bother me as I go to Church with the wife and am comfortable with the use of the word "souls".

I know exactly what it means. I would say the same thing though if there
were a legit FAA/Military term of say, "Formerly Useful Christian Kickers" and they used the acronym. "Big John" wrote in message ... Gig POB (Persons on board) is sometimes used instead of SOB.

Also John,
You do realize my problem with the acronym has nothing to do with the use of the term Soul. As a mater of fact the term Souls on Board is there to differentiate between bodies that were alive at the time the flight started and any that weren't. Again I have no problem with the term, just the acronym. "Big John" wrote in message ... Gig POB (Persons on board) is sometimes used instead of SOB.

Again I have no problem with the term, just the acronym. I must be dense All this time I thought the objection to S.O.B. was because it also stood for sons of bitches. |

And here when you think of an accident and those poor "Souls On Board". I've been doing it wrong all these years.
