Goh Choon Phong - The man who is destroying SIA

- Start date
now then you know!
it was so obvious to us when LHL took over as PM. The longer he stays, the faster we crumble.
So to save SG, we need to vote out as many pap candidates as possible.

That genetic crud will quit Singapore at the first sign of dissent and will have 1001 excuses to justify his incompetence and moral failing.
He will be known as the man who destroyed Singapore
why not? When SIA had true SG girls in the 1970s and 80s, the stewardesses were a class by themselves. It is when SIA recruited foreigners that SIA standard went downhill.
Singapore Girls then were what other airlines talked about!
Yes, SG Girls are chio, well groomed and submissive. Best as wives and lovers.
A SG girl will do whatever her hubby wants, whenever he wants, anyway he wants it. How not to be rated well by others?

In the early days, SQ trained their girls well and they delivered good service and looked presentable. They also spoke good English. Morale was also high, and it showed.
Diluting the Singapore component, and absurd HR policies, started a gradual decline in morale and service.
I still get good service on SQ, occasionally exceptional, but nowhere like what it was.
Without the PAP Singapore will turn to ashes even more quickly. At least the PAP is slowing down the rot.
He has the charisma of Wooden Goh. Definitely someone who should be spearheading treatment for insomniacs.
That is 5 words.
You are enlightened. But to me, rotting under the PAP is a no, no. I want to see pap asking for forgiveness for the mismanagement of SG.
SIA story is a microcosm of the Singapore story. Dilute the SG core and you go downhill
that goh guy has the credentials but none commercial nous. double masters.
extremely private. no one knows if he is married or gay.
some say SIA has been sliding since Pillay left.

u njoy a cold, slow torture 2 death 2 a swift stroke ...
I don't know how these fuckers at SIA can lose $138 million in the last quarter!! Seriously? Fuel prices are so low now, and yet can still lose money. They must be the only major airline that is losing money. Seems to me like NOL Part Deux, an unpleasant Deja Vu. Watch for them to be sold to a China airline in the near future. Even the shitty American airlines are making money hand over fist, you know them. they fly the old planes, have fat and old FA and give you peanuts or pretzel for your inflight meal.

Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Schedule P1.2 http://www.transtats.bts.gov/Fields.asp?Table_ID=295
The 24 U.S. scheduled service passenger airlines reported an after-tax net profit as a group for the 16th consecutive quarter.
In addition to the after-tax net profit of $ 1.9 billion based on net income reports, the scheduled service passenger airlines reported a $3.3 billion pre-tax operating profit in the first quarter of 2017, down from $4.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016 and down from $5.6 billion in the first quarter of 2016. The airlines reported a pre-tax operating profit - as a group - for the 24th consecutive quarter (Tables 1, 4).
Net profit or loss and operating profit or loss are two different measures of airline financial performance. Net profit or loss includes non-operating income and expenses, nonrecurring items or income taxes. Operating profit or loss is calculated from operating revenues and expenses before taxes and other nonrecurring items.
Total operating revenue for all U.S. passenger airlines in the January-March first-quarter of 2017 was $39.7 billion. Airlines collected $29.4 billion from fares, 74.0 percent of total first-quarter operating revenue (Table 4).
Total operating expenses for all passenger airlines in the first-quarter of 2017 were $36.4 billion, of which fuel costs accounted for $5.9 billion, or 16.3 percent, and labor costs accounted for $12.8 billion, or 35.1 percent (Table 4).
In the first quarter, scheduled passenger airlines collected a total of $1.0 billion in baggage fees, 2.6 percent of total operating revenue, and $723.6 million from reservation change fees, 1.8 percent of total operating revenue. Fees are included for calculations of net income, operating revenue and operating profit or loss (Table 4).
Baggage fees and reservation change fees are the only ancillary fees paid by passengers that are reported to BTS as separate items. Other fees, such as revenue from seating assignments and on-board sales of food, beverages, pillows, blankets, and entertainment are combined in different categories and cannot be identified separately.

SINGAPORE — National carrier Singapore Airlines (SIA) is asking its cabin crew to go on voluntary no-pay leave (VNPL) for a period of three months starting in September to address a “temporary crew surplus situation”.
While the scheme was last rolled out during the global financial crisis in 2009, the flag carrier intends to offer it “from time to time, going forward” to enable the airline to be “more flexible and nimble in managing crew resources”, an SIA spokesperson told TODAY.
SIA employs about 14,800 staff, of which 8,200 are cabin crew.
SIA Group, including SIA Engineering, SilkAir, SIA Cargo, Scoot and other subsidiaries, employ about 25,800 people.
The airline said the nature of its business is such that it may encounter short-term periods of manpower surplus or deficits at specific ranks as its network expands and contracts, depending on peak or lean travel seasons.
“The division will need to exercise flexibility and nimbleness to better manage crew resources. VNPL and the leave buy-back scheme are measures that the division will take from time to time to achieve this objective,” SIA said in a notice to its cabin crew sent out on Wednesday (Aug 3) announcing the introduction of the VNPL scheme.
The notice explained that given the temporary crew surplus situation, the cabin crew division will be introducing the VNPL option for Chief Steward/Stewardess (CS/CSS) and Flight Steward/Stewardess ranks (FS/FSS), so as to better manage crew resources and operational requirements.
SIA has four ranks of crew, in ascending order: FS/FSS, LS/LSS (Leading Steward/Stewardess), CS/CSS and IFM (In-Flight Manager), said a company spokesperson.
The airline spokesperson said the initiative is specific to the cabin crew division and no such scheme is available to employees at the other departments, and stressed that the scheme is entirely voluntary.
According to analysts, SIA has been under strong competitive pressure from other carriers in Asia and the Middle East.
The airline’s move to making operations a lot more flexible appears to be aimed at managing costs better.
“That means that during periods of low demand they will operate fewer flights in order to maintain their profit margins, resulting in some periods where they may have a surplus of operational staff.
“SIA’s new approach of flexing capacity up and down to match demand should deliver more sustainable profits, but does also mean some uncertainty for staff that may be asked to take short-term unpaid leave,” said Mr Ellis Taylor, Asia finance editor at FlightGlobal.
He also noted that SIA will ramp up capacity towards the end-of-the-year peak-travel season, given the VNPL offer is for a short period.
“SIA is being flexible rather than having to make structural changes, such as by offering redundancies,” Mr Taylor added.
The airline’s CEO, Mr Goh Choon Phong, said in June that jobs are likely to be cut as part of the airline’s business review to revive earnings following a surprise net loss of S$138 million in the fourth-quarter ended March 31 — its first loss in five years.
SIA had stated it would be taking “bold radical measures”, with a focus on enhancing cost and service efficiencies to better position the company for long-term growth.
In view of a challenging 2017, SIA also set up a dedicated transformation office to conduct a “wide-ranging review” to ensure sustainable growth.
Mr Taylor noted that VNPL is a tool that a number of other airlines use during the downturn.
For instance, almost all the United States carriers “furloughed” pilots and cabin crew after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, some of whom had to wait for years to get back to work with their airlines.
