How do we abbreviate the Flying Squadron? Is it "TFS" or "FS" or just "the Squadron"?

That's an interesting question. I usually try to say the full name, but that's, of course, quite cumbersome. If you're just looking for a shorter way to say it, I'd definitely use "the Squadron"—if you want an acronym, I believe TFS is better than just FS.
Really, though, nothing's set in stone. I'd be interested in hearing other opinions on it.

FS - it's short and to the point.

Personally, I like "the Squadron." It has a ring of importance. Should I make a poll?

Sure, you could make a poll. The results will be non-binding, however—it'll indicate a preference on the part of our pilotship, but those who disagree with the majority can go on referring to it however they please.

I'm thinking maybe the results would go in the Constitution under "Fundamental Principles."

I think with 2 votes to 1, the Squadron is the official abbreviation of the Flying Squadron. ;D

I think that's a little too rushed, now, don't you think so?

It's been three days. But if you think that's too early, we'll extend it to March 6 for a full seven.

Yup, that would be better.

I believe if abbreviating, we should use TFS, as I have stated before, we are The Flying Squadron, with a capital T, not Flying Squadron. And "the Squadron" doesn't make sense either.
