Spirit announces expansion at Phoenix-Mesa Williams Gateway - $9 Intro Fares

[crxpilot]

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!

How will the proposed rest rules effect an operation like Allegiant?

*yawn*

Uhhhh... no, it isn't.

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.

seriously...they still have that?

 

[Mr.B]

I suggest you leave. Allegiant will be a much better place without you.

And the race to the bottom continues....

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?

 

[CA1900]

You spelled necessary wrong. :laugh:



(I agree completely!)

 

[Esprit]

Guilty. Ha ha...pretty funny. But I think I hit the key too hard. Or is it to hard?

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.

 

[Esprit]

BINGO!!! We have a winner!

How will the proposed rest rules effect an operation like Allegiant?

Considering G4's low aircraft utilization rate, I don't think there'll be much to worry about in regards to the new rest rules. The crews work one out and back a day.

Well, to be fair...

The guy you're hassling about correcting someone's grammar didn't start this. DonVerita made a post hassling Crxpilot about something. Crxpilot then "corrected" DonVerita's grammar as a retort, but was wrong in what he said; DonVerita was right in his word usage in the first place. DonVerita than pointed that out to Crxpilot (the difference between 'effect' and 'affect.') That's when you guys jumped on DonVerita for being the grammar police. Esprit and SKC jumped on the wrong guy for using grammar as FI weapon. Crxpilot was the guy who brought it up.

Bubba, I was intending to just post the unwritten rule of message boards that when you figure out that your argument is no longer valid, you tend to look for dumb things to respond with. You know, like spelling, or LBB overnights, etc.

Wasn't just directed at one person. It's directed at many.

Yep your exactly right. Some people just don't get it though. I could never understand this need to denigrate fellow pilots.
