2021-04-07 10:21:41 I have noticed that people are sometimes confused with prepositions - to speak TO/to speak WITH

Speak TO is used when the speaker speaks to a person or a group of people who just listen and are not going to respond(for example, it can be a conference or a symposium).

Speak WITH is used when the speaker is in conversation with the interlocuter, who talks back or responds.

A flight attendant was speaking to passengers providing a pre-flight briefing.

Pilots were speaking with an ATC about possibility of departure before the slot time. Open / Comment

2021-03-31 19:26:37 QRF(quick return flight) stands for a flight when a plane arrives at the destination airport and at once departs back. For example, flight Moscow-Kiev-Moscow.

P.S.I wish we had such flight despite politics. Open / Comment

2021-03-30 07:30:55 One of my favourite idioms is "The sky is the limit".
It refers to great possibilities that we have. A person can reach any goals and hights because the only limit for him/her is the sky.And sky is infinite.
E.g.
For people who work hard,the sky is the limit.

Has he got a promotion?Has he become a chief pilot?- He has.The sky is the limit for him.

My slogan is "keep going forward-the sky is the limit". Open / Comment
