O' Neill No 6 Firstly I am not your mate and secondly I said why wouldn't not shouldn't ( too subtle for you clearly to understand the difference) and it was a tongue in cheek remark which clearly flew well over your head.
Until such times as SQ Cargo is 100% self sufficient as far as Captains are concerned it will always be more efficient to use Mainline Pilots on a lot of the cargo trips as they can operate to some places as passenger flights and pick up a Cargo flight. As you lot do not get paid for positioning SQ will always take the cheaper option. That has always been how SQ have operated and never likely to change anytime soon.
