I really am surprised that the Singapore Government allows SIA Pilots to actually vote for who they want to have as their representatives to the Alpha-S Council!!!!
As in future they want all decisions to be decided by the council without consulting the membership, then I would have thought they would impose their candidate.??
All SIA Pilots want is the market rate for the job. An Airline that employs large numbers of ex-pats cannot expect to hold people or attract the right people unless they pay the going rate compared to other High Fare and High Cost Airlines, who are the real competitors.
SIA might have to reduce in size and let the LCA do the short haul routes and concentrate on Long Haul. They already have Silk Air which could adapt to the Low Cost Model assuming they can get Pilots on their salary scales!!
