So the guy points out inadequacies, problems, etc., yet instead of getting onboard with him regarding the situation so as to eventually effect change, your suggestion is that he should just, "leave". Really?

Spoken like a true surrender monkey. And that is exactly the type of attitude your Management wants you to have. Defeatism will ensure that you stay at the bottom or near to it.

*yawn*

obtw, its "affect" in this case not "effect".......i guess if i am a monkey, that makes you a baboon!

Apparently your defeatism is only eclipsed by your lack of understanding of the English language.

So here we go:

transitive verb (past and past participle ef·fect·ed, present participle ef·fect·ing, 3rd person present singular ef·fects)
do or make something: to succeed in making or doing something They effected their escape through a rear window.

affect or effect?

In general use, affect is only used as a verb, whereas effect is commonly used as a noun and only in formal contexts as a verb. What causes confusion is that they have very similar pronunciations and closely related meanings. If one thing affects [acts upon] another, it has an effect on it [causes it to change]. Notice also that you can affect [cause a change in] people as well as things, but you can only effect [bring about] things such as changes: The election has affected our entire society, for it has effected major changes in the government.

I could never understand this part about pilot message boards...I see this on Pprune as well...where does this need come from to correct people's spelling/grammar mistakes? Does it make you feel better? Since when did it become neccessary to be a perfect speller to become an airline pilot? This poster went waaaay above the call of duty to point out another's mistake. Really?

Message Board Rule 27.8

If during a dispute, poster A makes a comment about poster B that is truth, rather than admit he's wrong, poster B's only recourse is a strike against poster A's spelling, the company he/she works for, or attempt to divert to a previous dispute.
