Seems to be a resurgence of interest in SIA Cargo by ill advised souls around the world, following the recent ad in Flight International.
In light of all that has been written over the past years in respect of SIA’s consistent contempt for the niceties of sticking to the pilot employment contract and not arbitrarily cutting remuneration packages in knee-jerk reaction to short lived economic situations, perhaps you could cast light, as a fairly recently joined and from what we can gather, enthusiastic supporter of a company from which us more experienced and jaundiced hands seek only to escape its institutionalized bonded servitude.
Can you advise your potential ingénue colleagues that SIA Cargo is indeed a good and fair deal for both parties, or are you now of the majority view that you are used, abused, lied to and completely powerless in your negotiations with and representations to a company who, until the next major manning crisis, “frankly, doesn’t give a damn”?
