Boeing666,

Sure no problem, will pass you my ICQ number once I get the program setup on my PC.

Guys, pprune postings are very much available to us just by a click on the web page. So there isn't any problem about surfing pprune but there is a big risk for those who understand the system & law here. Agree guys.....

Regards,

Grapes, you have make it sounded like a nationality war issue here.

This posting is for discussion about the learjet & other mishap of SQ only not to cause an uproar about nationality what so ever. Irregardless of what nationality pilots of SQ come from, they are still highly regarded as trained & qualified pilots.

Boeinglover - we are talking about a whole new forum here, one dedicated to confidential reporting of incidents etc. If any Government decides it is not in their best interest then they will, for sure, block it. Yes, we who live here are well aware that there is a complete branch of the CID whose sole job is computers but at the moment I think they are more concerned with fraud and hackers.

Hi guys, many have foresee that after the memorial services in Taiwan yesterday. SIA has gained lots of respect from the aviation industries & general public worldwide....
in turn hopefully will boost the SIA's Goodwill & corporate image to a higher level.

Good job SQ !!!

Cheers.

BoeingLover:
what a load of dribble! You exhibit the same ostrich qualities that beleagure SIA. I suppose that as long as your SIA shares don't suffer too badly then you will remain content and happy.

Titan,

I am not speaking for myself. First of all I don't play shares, but many of my friends have huge amount of shares wif SIA & as shareholders they would not like to see the company shares falling like bird ****s after this unexpected incident. Even the general public locally & overseas have expressed confidence in SIA ( On TV ) despite the crash which perhaps could release some prospects & tight tension here for many of SIA's shareholders.

What's the problem wif you????

Titan and a few others are angry
because of midlife career change and a hefty
fiscal penalty . I would be very angry too
if this happen to me .
I would probably throw all the
sh*ts I can and hope some will stick ; irregardless of secondary consequence .

Pillow,

I get what you mean ! but that is their problem... this is a free forum where people speak their mind or views. They can't just go around & "F" anybody just because of midlife career change or something bad has happened to their high-flying career. Come on wake up, be sensible & mature enough to do the right choice. There are also better paid jobs like lecturers etc etc to compare with pilots. I know a few who had made the career change & living happily after with higher wages to spend on.

Cheers.

If I may quote a letter which appeared in one of the Singapore Media recently since it relates to the last few posstings in this thread..

I quote " In the aftermath of the SQ 006 crash, it is heartening to see so many Singaporeans rallying around in support of both the families and survivors of the accident. There have also been widespread support for SIA and praises sung of its handling of the incident.

Many have also started defending the actions of both SIA and its pilots even though the investigation is far from complete. As Singaporeans, we are naturally proud of SIA's past successes and enviable reputation. However, this is hardly the time to indulge in our nationalism and pride. The truth is that 82 people have so far died in this terrible tragedy. At this moment, the concern of the public as well as SIA should be placed on the welfare and support of the families. The impact to SIA's reputation and profitability should not be dwelled upon too much, especially in statements coming from its officials as well as our government. Doing so would only be trivialising the deaths and sufferings of those on board the flight and add greater misery to their families. These officials should also refrain from repeating the fact that this is SIA's first crash in 28 years. What comfort surely can the families draw knowing that their loved ones were "pioneers" in Sia's history ?" end quote...

The second half of the letter discusses possible management weaknesses in the airlines management and procedures and draws attention to the Silk Air crash and requests that the airline are indeed transparent this time around with regards the investigation. Unlike the SilkAir investigation..

Enough said at this time...

Boeinglover ,
they are still very angry . Who wouldnt be after paying out 6 figures penalty . What better place than cyberspace to hit back by throwing lots of SH*TS and hope some will stick .

Read the posting last 2 years and you will see what I mean . Most are quite entertaining actually . Though some are rather distasteful and disgusting .

So might as well enjoy their postings while they are still angry

Cheers

Pillow,

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that at times this forum would be a good way for those extraordinary pilots to release their stress...........after enduring so much of rubbish stuff from their respective Airlines. Sometimes we have to look at things at a different prospectives. This is life. And they do sucks at times.....

Cheers.

Guys, I believe it is only a matter of personal opinion of every individual towards SIA or even other Airlines. Some may find the SQ really sucks while some just love to get in. So now tell me what is love & hate!!!!

The best solution is for those who hate it, find a greener pasture to live on....and get on with life.

Those who enjoys flying for it, do well & excel in the career. For there would be wonderful moments to recall after retirement.

Good luck everbody.

BL.

Hi, I am one of the sons of Capt Rod Blow, the training captain killed in Ranong in 1997.

All I have to say is that there was some suspect information in relation to the crash, and a majority of the Australian training pilots who contacted us the same opinion.

We know what really happened and that is what is important.
