It's not immediately obvious to a non US resident what that would be so a common courtesy would be to describe what the initialism was on its first use.

I wouldn't expect anyone to know what BNE (Brisbane) or DAR (Darwin) meant at first value.

Common courtesy? Proper etiquette is to ask instead of assume and complain.

You can disagree all you like, you're still being pedantic. This is an informal conversation. You can pickup on context clues or ask.
