Why mm nvr come out n scold the pilots for demanding mre pay

sunnytv SG

If he scold them, he is indirectly scolding himself and the minsters. Just like slapping their own face, because they are the first to propose the pay hike. SIA pilots just follow them.

pearlie27 SG

He has lost his moral authority.

The pilots are merely following his e.g. in asking for pay hike and refusing to be benchmarked agst other pilots.

Rubbish lah, without this pilots.. SIA will not be one of the best airline in the world... imagine those million dollar plane in the hands of normal ppl...u must pay top money for the top talent what.... sound familiar?? Laughing

deathscythe99 SG

But it sure doesnt justify that they are paid the same as the B777 pilots who fly longer but have lesser passenger load...? Rolling Eyes

Ok there might be more internal stuff being thrown out with this court thingy....it depends on whether SIA would want to risk it being officially known?

dork3d SG

Cos this year he also getting a pay raise, so in no position to KBKB at the ALP-S lor... Later kena arrow back how... Mr. Green

audiovideo SG

the news said the pilot claimed that A380 is more difficult to fly... errr I thought this plane is fly by wire? The computer will fly the plane ....the pilot just have to start engine and off engine, ask crew to get ready for take-off or landing Mr. Green

SIA knows A380 better than the pilot or the other way round?
are those pilots in the pay discussion already trained to fly A380?

I suggest SIA to recruit new pilots and later fire those who attended the meeting Twisted Evil

UandMe SG

izzit? dun even need pilots to take off and land?

planes are so advanced already?

AndrewPKYap SG

Control tower used remote control to take off and land the planes... pilots only la kopi and for "emergencies" like when the control tower remotes run out of batteries...

If we want to talk about cosmopolitan we should not just become cosmopolitan for ministers to enjoy cosmopolitan pays and not the pilots.

So to test our leaders' sincerity in asking citizens to be cosmopolitan they should not just allow pilots' salaries to go cosmopolitan but invite cosmopolitan foreigners to apply for ministers' jobs and citizens will decide whether they are worth millions. May be clinton or greespan will take only 1/2 of our ministers' current pays without the latest raise.

May be clinton or mahathir will at least be more accountable and transparent and will open the books on how they invest our surpluses and not in shin corp or souzhou.

Doesn't matter. In aviation world, the bigger plane you fly, the more pay. It's understood.

Rock^Star SG

MM changed his mind. Now talents deserve higher pay.

Anyway, SIA can afford the pay rise. Peanuts. It's more a matter of setting a precedent and then paving the way for future scenarios.

googoomuck SG

Pressure the MM too much and he’ll say, “that’s it. Recruit the Indians to fly A380”.

Ok basically sg is free & democrat country, you cant praise or scold gov & ministers, is your right.

My mp say before many time, scold gov is different from be traitor. If gov do wrong thing & you got proof, you got right scold gov. If you go support foreigners & support opposition partys scold gov, that can charge treason & you become traitor.

If government ministers got free lunches and people cannot have free lunches then can people scold the government ?

laurence82 SG

strange thing

to begin with, supporting foreign and opposition parties scolding govt is a traitor's job?

that chap's argument is null and void from the beginning

we must never equate govt to country, lest we become another North Korea or Cuba

charlize SG

Other countries are already equating Singapore with these communist regimes.

What to do? Laughing

This is like people who have eaten asking people who have not eaten not to eat. Rolling Eyes Tell them "You have taken your free lunch, now is my turn!" Evil or Very Mad Laughing
