AIPA(?) question marks?

[LTBC]

One of our fellow pilots is having a few issues with grammar. Considering that he both represents us to the media and to management, perhaps some guidelines should be provided so that official statements don't come across as insecure 'drivel'. Point 4 is particularly relevant.


1. Most simply, use the question mark after a direct question, as in, "Will AIPA be directly involved in the crewing of Jetstar International?"

2. Use a period rather than a question mark after an indirect question, such as, "Borghetti asked whether we would like to be involved."

3. Opt for a period rather than a question mark for a courteous command that's disguised as a question. For example, "Will you please not disregard the rules."

4. Do not use a question mark to indicate your doubt about a choice of word, or to indicate that you are dubious about a particular statement.


How is everyone feeling about the sweeping 'reforms' so many were hoodwinked into voting for? I feel as secure as his statements sound.
