Farside Your naivety amuses me if you think for one minute that ex Gens Bey and Ng are going to rattle any cages to get any real dialogue going with the Pilots.
After SQ6 and to cover SQ from what will probably be a damning inditement and criticism and blame these two gentlemen are on a damage limitation exercise!!
You forget that these two have been chosen from birth almost to follow the party line and will have been brain washed accordingly all these years and they are not going to put their jobs or reputation on the line to make any real changes,mark my words.
Bey,at a recent B744 Fleet meeting confirmed that all mistakes made have to be punished, being SIA this means financially of course.
Of course serious potential flying incidents are different especially if you know the right people.
Recent flurries of new committees being set up all over the place is mere window dressing just to satisfy regulalatory authorities that something is being done within SIA to sort out the mess made by 20 years of rule by fear and intimidation by our beloved leader De Vaz.
As he is responsible for the Pilot shortage and the reason why some Pilots are owed THREE YEARS LEAVE!!! then if SIA are now having to cut services and lose revenue then this should be taken directly from DE Vaz who through the years has benefitted financially by keeping crew costs to the bare minimum.
