Thks for your comments.
But what CRM are we talking about? Are we saying that SQ has no CRM culture? Is the selection criteria solely based on CRM? Will this score more marks than proper relevent experience and flying skills and attitude? There is no way an airliner in any part of the world flies today with no CRM being practised, either direcly or indirectly.
Is it payback time for the expats who were previously "not so nicely" treated in SQ? I think that CRM knowledge can be imparted at any stage of one's flying career providing the pilots attitude is right.
Anyway EK pilots demonstrated thier superior CRM skills recently by hovering over Chennai for more than 30 minutes with a cargo fire warning whilst talking to maintenance on whether the warning was authentic.
