Is it not possible, in the interests of balance, for a representative of Alpa-S to be similarly interviewed by the august Miss Rebecca Lee (no relation – we hope!) of the Straits Times, to give the SIA pilots’ point of view? Please, someone tell me that this would be a viable proposition, without running the risk of a defamation suit, issued by SM, leading to the personal ruin that seems to be so distressingly common in Singapore.
If there is any suggestion of defamation from such a representative, then I’m sure that the Senior Minister will be magnanimous enough to let it by as a quid pro quo for his similar, highly publicised defamation to the effect that the pilots “thought themselves special and had big egos”.
