Here's a thought... if one adopts trendy, fad ideas, takes shortcuts, makes unnecessary abbreviations and is generally sloppy in the way one talks and writes, is it fair to assume the same parameters and ethics apply all the way to how one flies as well? If one does not apply the rules of speech and grammar, does that mean one does not apply the rules of aerodynamics, airlaw and good airmanship. Or is that taking it too far?
I recently flew on a national carrier where the cabin crew were totally disinterested in their job, the flightcrew were so bored as to barely be able to make a coherent pa announcement, and generally the whole service reeked of apathy and lethargy. Shortly afterwards this carrier had a serious fatal crash. One assumes that apathy at ground level goes all the way to the top - and vice versa. Apathy at the top goes all the way down the ranks.
So in summary, if you cannot be bothered to talk or write properly, can you be bothered to fly properly?
