Anyway, at the moment, SQ local pilots are given a reduced salary of 90% of their last drawn at 60 should they decide to continue on to 62. What ALPA-S is fighting for is for pilots to be paid with no pay reduction till the time they retire. There is no back pay or whatever else. And there...

Nice humour Windsor. @TracyTan866 I'm glad if you did visit the cockpit whilst inflight post 9/11. Yes. It still violates the law whether your 'friend' allowed you in. Your friend doesn't make the law, and neither do I. Neither of us can change it at whim for friends. Nope. I don't know all...

U can try after the flight. Just let the crew know. Not really the best view on the ground, but that's the best at the moment.

Why 2 and not 4? Because of cost cutting measures. The computer alongst with technology such as the GPS and other ground based instruments help enable that flying a plane is more precise. It's too small a space to try and explain the complexity of what it takes to fly the aircraft. Where...

Sadly, that must have been years ago at the very least? Since 9/11 or rather bout a decade back, no one has been able to visit cockpits. If you have, either you are a staff working in the airline (which contradicts the very safety policies put in place), or have violated the law alongst with...

4 For the issue of a professional pilot licence, an applicant is required to undergo another initial medical if he did not renew the validity of his medical certificate for a period in excess of 12 months after the expiry of the initial medical examination. Exemption to this requirement may be...

There can only be two conclusions drawn from this statement. (1) You do not have friends who are pilots and you fabricated this statement. (2) You do have friends who claim to be pilots but are not and they fabricated this statement. Just like cruise control in a car, the autopilot...

I hope you do know what the autopilot does, and what the jobscope of the pilot is. However, judging from your comments, I would think not. Military A/C do not seek permission to fly from place to place. They do so without regard for safety. It is precisely for safety that is why there are no...

Not to be disrespectful, if you find that 20% too much to pay, then perhaps AirAsia or Garuda would suit you better. Everyone wants to be paid more, and pay less for what they consume. But it's not the way things work. You want inexperienced rookies at the helm? I wonder if your company pays...

It's not so easy. It requires a lot for someone to move. People have families. A typical Singaporean in SIA begins his career as a trainee at the min age of 26. Some come in when they are in their 30s. The training takes about 4 -5 years currently, so by the time our men (who have been sidelined...

Wow... by that standards, the aunties in Macdonalds must be paid very well for them to stay and work. For goodness sake, the guys have families to feed and bills to pay. If you think pilots are over paid, why don't you boycott taking planes altogether? The modern pilots drive japanese cars...
