Scroo Got any more info on the quoted sections. Always happy to learn a little history, excluding the ryan goh affair which i am quite familiar with

Just because it is possible doesn't mean it will happen. Or that the union is even interested in cases like this. Of the lengthy exchange which has been made public. No reference has been made to what you allude to. Until evidence to prove that your (d) and (e) is something which is actually...

Please do show it to me then

Sorry Locke, all i see in that post are your own speculations, none of which are substantiated. I will say this again, there has been nothing mentioned by any parties, SQ, ALPA, MOM, or anyone else about the proposed re-employment being retroactive. Until i see hard evidence of what you say, i...

Locke, Can you quote your source wrt the above? A no point in the union-SQ exchanges did i see any mention anywhere of any kind of backdating for those who turn 62 before 2012. The negotiations are for those turning 62 after 2012. Before 2012, standard policy applies. I am curious to know...

They don't have to fight for it because they already have it: retirement age is 65 starting next year, legislation is in place to make it mandatory, and SQ has no choice but to go with it.What the pilots are fighting for is to maintain the exact same pay package past 62 up to 65 which is the...

Locke, I am going to explain this one last time. If you still don't get it, I am giving up RETIREMENT age changes to 65 in 2012. Before 65, you are not retired, and after 65, pilots will 'fuck off' as you so aptly put it. Despite this: SIA, insists on re-employment at 62 at a lower pay, up to...

Thats not how it works in flying. Either you are 100% capable of doing the job or you are not. There is no middle ground. Fail your medical? Fail your multitudes of 6 monthly and yearly flight checks? Out you go.There is no gradual lowering of standards as you get older, in fact they get more...

Its precisely because of the fact that ALPA is in a unique position to fight back that we Singaporeans should support them

Of course what I say is true. All i did was quote what was stated in the ST article. Read it carefully and see for yourself if you don't believe me. No, they are allowed to fly to 65 as per international convention. They are in no way 'not supposed to fly' past 62. Pilots everywhere do the...

by your own admission. Such an age already exists. 65. If 65 year old pilots left, right and center were getting heart attacks mid-flights or getting into accidents, do you think even the lobbyists could have pushed through an increase in the mandatory pilot retirement age? The fact of the...

I already addressed the first point but as to the second. Yes, pilots after 62 are more prone to failing medicals, but once you fail a medical, no pilot flies. It's as simple as that. Any health problem past 62 that doesn't revoke the very stringent airline transport-class medical will have no...

To my knowledge, this has already been occuring since the SARs crisis and the Ryan Goh saga. SQ pilots are leaving in droves, and who can blame them? I have it on good authority that as a result of the mass exodus of pilots, SQ has been forced to ramp up the hiring of expat pilots (with much...

Dear Locke. If SIA management get what they want, a meaningless pay cut at 62, then yes, I fully expect that many pilots will simply show the middle finger and retire at 62, play golf or try another airline on expat terms. Your position is "The choice is between retirement with NO PAY and NO...

Working for an airline is more than just about pay. Most local carrier would of course prefer for fly for their flag carrier than jump ship to another airline. They deserve credit for fighting for an improvement than simply jumping ship to another airline which they could do easily. Locke> You...

Think about whether YOU would be willing to take a massive pay cut to do the SAME job JUST because you turn 62.

SIA pilots urged by union to boycott dinner SINGAPORE Airlines pilots have been urged by their union to boycott an annual social gathering organised by the airline. The dinner, on Feb 25, is held by SIA to show its appreciation to pilots and honour top performers with service awards, its...

give us one for lim shit say

dont think this counts as indecent exposure...otherwise guys in swimming trunks would be arrested at swimming pools. probably why he keeps coming back despite being hassled by the poodles

i dont think it was a typo...look below the fake starbucks logo...its hard to read, but it says 'porn queen'...either the owner did this on purpose...or, typical of a moronic chinaman...just copied the entire logo and text from a website online not knowing it was a parody of the original coffee...
