your right there apophis..
what about all the absolutely useless and dangerous singaporean ones they got just before ansett went down, and they still had to employ them even when they employed the ex AN people.
VERY questionable skills indeed. but then again some of the ones before that are pretty hopeless too. Morale and discipline there isn't a strong point. neither is their questionable hiring practices. remember the stink kicked up when security checks were required for existing employees? some people with dodgy pasts who probably couldn't get a job in an airline because of it and now they'd been found out....
you may wish to think about whether ALL of the persons from that country are as described and whether they have a higher per capita percentage of them than say from "Australians" whatever they may be ?
I have a different experience than "all".
It's a difficult one but lets be careful how and at whom you wave that stick eh. W
