Today's (Dec 10) Straitened Times carries a further article on plans for Tiger Airways, noting a rash of budget carrier start-ups in SE Asia (AirAsia, Valuair, maybe one in Thailand) in addition to Tiger). Reportedly, SIA is unperturbed, its CEO, Chew Choon Seng, averring "The more the merrier. And we are the fittest group". If he's right - and he may well be - we all know why. It's all the money he's banking by paying derisory wages to his pilots. Nice one, Mr Chew!
