  Evening September 10, 2001
Parents got their kids ready for bed. Some read them a story, hugged, kissed them, turned out the lights. For some, it would be the last time.
Kids snuggled into bed and drifted off to sleep, safe and secure. For some it would be the last time.
Flight crews got ready for the next day. Uniform. Manuals. Jepps. A good night's sleep to be ready for the next day. For 32 dedicated crew, it would be the last time.
NYC Fire and police were always ready fo...r the next call. It would be the last call for 411.
The next day the world as we knew it changed.
September 11, 2001. We watched in horror....and we watched Syrians dance with joy in the street. Now, those we elected to keep us safe want to bring them here and no one wants to discuss the vetting process. I haven't forgotten. Have you?

Subject: What is the real "industry standard"

To all the active Airline comrades out there:

 I'm trying to determine what the "industry standard" is for the verbiage and labeling of your Quick Reaction Cards (QRC), the initial references you use for Non-normal/Emergency events.  There seems to be a bit of debate as to how switches, levers, buttons are referred to on these cards.  The trend to match the way switches are labeled in the cockpit to a QRC (to the letter) has been around for a while but what I'm trying to determine is how far that has been taken.   Since I haven't been in an airline cockpit is 10 years I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me as to what your QRC looks like.  Specifically:

Does your QRC ever use nouns like switch, lever, button, etc. when referring to a particular item?

Examples: 

1.           APU FIRE PUSH . . . . . Press

              or

              APU FIRE PUSH BUTTON . . . . . Press

2.           BUS TIE OPEN/CLOSED . . . . . CLOSED

              or

              BUS TIE OPEN/CLOSED SWITCH . . . . . CLOSED

 Any feedback on this would be much appreciated. 

Better yet, I would appreciate for a copy/picture of your current QRC.  That is of course if your life, limbs, or career will not be in jeopardy for sharing the information.  I'll keep ALL sources in confidence.

Thanks for your help gents,  Guy  skull505@gmail.com
