The tortuously “negotiated” (ie imposed) 2005 Collective Agreement, just published, indicates a new salary range that includes a revised top salary for B747-400 captains, of S$16,500.
To date, I have not heard any cries of outrage from the august and sizeable group in receipt of salaries in this part of the range and which I seem to remember, peaked somewhere in the region of S$22,000.
Does this mean that this band of pilots, many of whose members are in the Alpa-S Ex Co negotiating team, have taken an instant and sizeable pay cut or has another accommodation been found?
