  Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Oxygen Cylinder's on international flights


  I know bugger-all about oxy etc, however I do know that the subject line 
above has been hijacked by an apostrophe. *puts on academic gown and 
mortarboard head gear* Okay 4B, the apostrophe has two uses: 1) to indicate the 
possessive e.g. JR's horse-drawn zeppelin or WPP's RTP career; 2) to indicate a 
contraction e.g. it's (it is) a crap day for flying so let's (let us) sand back 
the gondola on JR's (possessive there) horse-drawn zeppelin.


  Pay attention Nick Gilbert and put that 'magazine' away. So, the subject 
field apostrophe is leading us into sink. The oxygen cylinder's what? Capacity 
to cause embarrassment at check-in? Threat to the structural integrity of an 
airliner? Leave the apostrophe - it's circling in rubbish. Now, where are those 
essays on gliding and post-modern architecture that I asked to be ready today? 
Mr Marshall, please don't tell me that your Olympia ate your homework again.

    I am buying an MH Oxygen system when I visit the States shortly and I am 
trying to determine what grief I will get from the airlines of having a Oxygen 
cylinder in my luggage.

    The Valve will be remove from the cylinder so it will just be an open 
Aluminium cylinder.

    Anyone had any experience ?

    I will be flying on American Airlines, Cathy Pacific and British Airways.
