On & Off sound similar to a guy on the tug, who might not speak English as a first language (the "O" sound in "on/off") so ICAO terms are "set" and "released".
That's how I understand it....

Also, keep in mind that Spirit uses a lot of contract rampers systemwide. They work several different airlines and probably use the standard verbage of "BRAKES SET?" with almost every other carrier. It's probably tougher for the rampers to adjust to verbage like "PARKING BRAKE ON" or "PARKING BRAKE OFF" just to accomodate NK when they're using different verbage for other carriers.

Could you plz put that in English?
That would be a no. Just paying some respect.
Lemonade just leave it alone please. No further reply necessary. We don't need a statement from anyone.
I guess I'm with Sailor on this. Disbelief at the magnitude of the tragedy that involved one of our (ex) own.
Let's get back to guessing why 614 is still on the ramp, 508 needs an engine change, whether to say "on" or "set", and will my new blue pants match my eye color.

Got a voicemail from scheduling at 3am this morning wondering if I was "interested" in LAS to PDX tonight. No mention of JM and I just checked open time and there is nothing in there. There is only one RSV for today, I hope someone didn't get suckered into straight pay.

615 is ready for delivery. It should leave this afternoon. Everything as far as delivery for the next birds is still on schedule.

I'm sure Mr. Wisconsin isn't new, and he knows to turn off the ringer. He also probably has a number for scheduling to call other than his house phone. He said he got a voice mail at 3am, not that it woke up the whole household.
