Do the airlines that utilise ACARS have some SOP regarding the use of SMS-like abbreviated text in ACARS messages or is it simply assumed that everyone is in the know?

Liz, from what I have seen they just seem to use any abbreviations they like, some are technical, others are just for convenience or speed. Air New Zealand have an email and fax interface to their ACARS system so crew can message their family and friends.
