Our beloved leader DFO {shortly to spending more time with his family!!} has suddenly admitted in a recent newsletter that the company feels that crews afterall would benefit from their annual leave entitlement!!! Services are having to be cut to enable the huge backlog of leave particularly on B744, a decision he said was difficult to make in view of the loss of revenue!! I bet it was as up to now Profit has always come before People in SIA.
The outstanding leave is nothing short of scandalous and the impotence of the CAAS is equally so in allowing this situation to happen due to total mismanagement of our beloved leader. The incestuous relationship between SIA and CAAS needs looking into . Perhaps in the aftermath of SQ 6 crash even the CAAS has been forced to put some kind of pressure on SIA???
Our leader goes on to say that recruitment onto the rapidly expanding B777 fleet has been somewhat disappointing. However he thinks the downturn in the economic climate will come to the rescue and Pilots who otherwise would not consider SIA now will!!
What a way to recruit Captains for a so called World Class Airline!!!
Instead of getting at the root cause of the problem which is not just about money but general conditions and most importantly the way in which Flight Operations Management behaves in a most intimidatory arrogant way with the rule of fear being the keyword hence the abysmal low morale in the Airline.
Yes 6% Service increments scrapped, Bonus payment renaged on.
Anyone considering joining SIA should assume that there will be no further Bonus Payments also No Service Increments in future. Are you sure you are still interested????
