Literacy
Gentlemen. I do hesitate to state this, but I feel compelled to do so regardless. Please (PLEASE), only put up a post if is edited for grammar and spelling. The literacy of some of the recent posts is woeful. If we want to engage in debate with our management, we need to do so with a level of literacy that meets with the prejudices and expectations of the adversary we confront. Please, review and edit your posts so that they reflect well on our community. Thank you.

+ 1, Air Profit, a courageous post.
The quality of the spelling and grammar in some posts on this forum make me wonder how these individuals made it into an airliner's cockpit...if they ever did.
Having said that, the Airbus weekly updates are usually full of grocer's apostrophes.

I agree and I have wondered for such a long time how some of these so called professional people who can't differentiate between THEIR and THERE for instance call themselves pilots. Did they succeed with their stringent English test? GRRRRRRRR

“Supposal” is a play on the words supposal and proposal. Writers often take this liberty, assuming the reader will forgive the obvious error but appreciate the descriptive nature of the word.
For example, if I were trying to describe the multiple attacks on my conditions of service, a made up word like “supposal” just might neatly illustrate the employer’s perception of the iron clad nature of my conditions of service....given the inadequate labour protections in place.

You keyboard warriors should draft a few more mass signed letters to management, they seem to work really well!
Perfect medium to espouse your literal and grammatical perfection. I am sure the Swire people will be impressed.

In fact, all future agreements should be prefaced with the word “Supposed”.
For example:
Supposed COS17
Supposed Rostering Practices
Supposed Flight Time Limitations
Supposed ARAPA
Supposd HKPA
Supposed Medical Benefits
Supposed Travel Agreement
Supposed 13th Month
Supposed Crewing Agreement
Etc
