Air Line Pilots Association disagrees with SIA's cost-cutting measures

[covertbriar]

THE Air Line Pilots Association, Singapore (Alpa-S), said in a newsletter to members on Thursday evening that the union disagrees with the new measures implemented by Singapore Arlines' (SIA) on pilots to slash costs, and will be taking the matter up to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in the coming days.

SIA will offer a Covid-19 special early-retirement scheme for all ground staff and pilots next week, announced a memo to staff seen by The Business Times. Employees aged 50 and above, with at least 15 years of service and up to the level of divisional vice-presidents, are eligible for it.

In addition, the newsletter also noted that SIA had proposed to convert compulsory no-pay leave to full pay cuts: Captains will take a 23 per cent reduction, while first officers and second officers will take a 13 per cent and 10 per cent cuts respectively.

Alpa-S wrote in the newsletter that it had not been consulted on the special early-retirement scheme before the meeting with the company on Thursday morning. Its representatives had also given their feedback on the "ineffectiveness of the special early-retirement scheme, with the disappointing quantum offered as a result of the payout cap".

sinkies pining their hopes for ah gong to rise from the dead and become their messiah to next golden age of PMET jobs and forever rising assets ... Huat Ah!

 

[JohnTan]

Is Ah Gong going to rise from his grave?

Ah Gong will, if the oppies continue to win elections or be appointed as grassroots advisers to People's Association. We will only work with the government of the day, not with oppies!

LKY damn fierce!

But I think in today's world with social media LKY would fare worse.

if PA is funded by PAP that's fine
but if PA is funded with public monies then it's not fine.

LKY is right. Totally sell off SIA and build a new airline from scratch.
Teach these greedy bastards who have been leeching off airlines, who is the boss.
Tell them if you don't take this offer now, you will get nothing later and the govt will turn SIA into NOL.

Pilots are biggest screwers of other peoples wife from what i can tell. They get to brag and impress.

Let us see how LHL, OYK and JT handle this hot potato of a bleeding SIA and disgruntled Pilot's Alpha-S. Will many more Unions fight for the workers?

The pilots are the greedy bastards! The airlines industry is doing very badly and they are reluctant to take a pay cut? Make the pilots go drive Grab instead! We've lots of capable pilots from India who can replace them!

CEOs and senior staffs are not greedy?

That is one way. Another is to take SIA to Arbitration Court. When Mgmt didnt take care of workers in good times, it cant ask workers to sacrifice in bad times
