“similar snares come to mind...” (line 17) means that ‘other equivalent solutions are engendered’.

“... the alpha and omega of a working shift.” (lines 33- 34) can be understood as ‘the positive and negative feature of a working shift’.

“... the pen has replaced the wrench,” (line 35) can be interpreted as ‘understanding the documents have become more important than being able to use hardware tools’.

“eighteen years down the road,” (lines 43-44) means that ‘eighteen years after piloting airplanes’.

“... both in the hangar and at the ramp.” (lines 72-73) can be interpreted as ‘in the backstage and all hidden areas of professional training’.

the error rate in reading comprehension is a relevant issue among native English speakers and among non-native ones.

non-native English flight personnel are equally liable to work-related reading comprehension flaws as the native staff.

native English speakers’ reading comprehension error rate is found to be less than one-fifth that of non-native English speakers.

Simplified English used in documentation is mandatory for non-native English speakers to appropriately function in the work environment.

native speakers of English have had substantial difficulty speaking to non-native speakers in the aircraft maintenance work environment.

Computers have gained the factory floor and have been eliminating many specialized technicians.

Simplified English norms are adopted as a standard for most maintenance manuals and aircraft documentation.

Most maintenance documentation is accessed through computer databases and not usually available in print.

Manufacturers are now the leading source of courseware that will train maintenance crew to handle new equipment.

Globalization and the expansion of worldwide partnerships in the aviation industry have impacted the maintenance workforce.

aircraft technicians and flight personnel are submitted to equal time pressure when they need to react to English language commands.

both airline crews and maintenance personnel are subject to English language misunderstandings that can cause critical mishaps.

aircraft maintenance personnel usually seem puzzled in discussions with native speakers about the need to use principles of Simplified English.

it is widely known that several major accidents have been caused by linguistic misunderstandings during aircraft maintenance procedures.

reinforce the need to define English as the lingua franca in the aviation sector.

discuss the importance of mastering English to find jobs in the aircraft industry.

Petrobras produces 5.7 million barrels of oil equivalent a day (boed).

The future oil and gas plans depend on the approval of over US$30 billion.

There was a decrease of Petrobras” operating costs in the last quarter of 2008.

The amount of billions in financing relies on infrastructure projects already approved.
