Chris Hadfield
Canadian Astronaut
Boldface' is a pilot term, a magic word to describe the procedures that could, in a crisis, save your life. We say that 'boldface is written in blood' because often it's created in response to an accident investigation. It highlights the series of steps that should have been taken to avoid a fatal crash, but weren't.
Quote examples
Ashleigh Banfield
Canadian Journalist
