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.

Oh dear... Best you re-read your post and make the appropriate edit then!

Air Profit,

In your efforts to post the perfect post you forgot that a large number of our members are female. Not a good look.

+ 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

Air Profit I completely agree. But then again, what is a “supposal”? The word is proposal, what is he talking about? Perhaps the bar isn’t very high.

“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.

Haha....! Yes, I humbly 'fall on my sword' with that one. But you get the idea. :} (I could edit but it's funnier if I leave it alone :O )

Air Profit,

Its the companies bad spelling that make them the looser's who cant right. The pilot's arn't bad. Their has been so many company emailes ocassions with worser mistakes too, anyone could of seen them. But, I except that some have real bad grammar, takes my breathe away some times, but errours basicly happend to us all, I beleive. At leest try help you're freinds get more better when you can!

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
Etc
Etc

Like what CR sayd.

I is enjoying the read
