FTD

Acronym. Stands for 'Fuck the Dornier'. Used on social media, text messages but rarely spoken. It began being used so that passengers and non aviation personnel would not be aware you were annoyed with the aircraft, much like the acronym 'FML'

The phrase is used to describe a hardship at work relating to a fault or short coming of your aircraft.

The phrase is widely used amongst airline crew in relation to a hardship at work. It originated from crew operating the Dornier 328 aircraft but due to staff rotation to other operators the phrase has started to become widespread.
We are stranded in Gatwick, as the aircraft is broken, FTD.

Why do passengers bring such large bags on the aircraft, FTD.
