I'm not sure which preposition to use 'at' or 'with'.
I'm not sure airline should be with 's' or without

Note, an takes a singular noun. Airlines is a plural noun.

Yes...but what's the difference when you say, 'with an airline', and 'with the airlines'?

Correct grammar is there to convey the real intent: meaning.

Good question. Here in Toronto, saying you work with the airlines is meant to be vague; for example, a self-employed person doing a bit of freelance graphic design for an airline for 2 months might say that. If you say you work for the airlines, however, you're claiming to have a permanent position.

Thanks, konungursvia, for your direct response - no mincing of words...or how you see things.
..and boy is that different.
It's late. Love to tease this out with you tomorrow. Till then...if you're still interested.

I always answer with the same degree of sincerity and truthfulness -- it's just that sometimes I find it useful to introduce concepts and analogies that (apparently) drive you stark raving mad (like comparisons with French) and lead you to call me.... last time it was a "tart," a "queen" and a "transvestite."

Perhaps you should read the forum rules before libelling anyone here, David.

Why don't you put Excalibur on your ignore list kon, I have, life is to short to "listen" to idiotic abuse from someone who should know better.

Thanks, I will, I had forgotten it was an option.
