I have been monitoring this forum with increasing interest.
For Ghengiz, Ghengiz 11. Akistar, CrewPlaykhan do not forget that there
are fellow pilots there who are trying to earn a decent living. Some had left established reputable airline to give it a shot for a little bit more juice.
Like in any other organizations they seem to have their grievances but when the pros and cons were considered, it was seen to be acceptable.
If you feel like putting your comments ,why dont you listen on both sides of the story, not from a handful few. You source I presume must have been from those handful of sour grapes that did not get what they wanted in the company.
Singapore python had his flaws, as no one is perfect. He had a task to do and did it well. He managed to get the airlines started at the least of recognition. That was a feather on the Cap. FIRST foreign airline to obtain an AOC in CHINA
Unfortunately your informer did not mention the good things that he did!
I was told the initial contract does not even mention anything about LOL....but he worked on it.... and the pilots got themselves covered for free......not a cent from the pilots pocket.Its 300K SGD for Capts & 200K for F/O.
13th month pay was never in the contract.....it was payed even when the company was bleeding due to the 3 months sanction.
More than 2 years of operation since inception... 13th month pay was extended and enjoyed twice....so far..
Infact it seems there was a recent announcement that another Bonus in recognition of the hard work put in by everyone ( Despite being still in the red) payable in July08
When the sanction took place....The CEO in a briefing assured the staff that the company can sustain for 2 years without resuming Business.
Nobody lost a single Singapore cent during the sanction.....
Gave in a Business Class travel to the F/O for interline travel during positioning instead of EY
Approved a 3 months pay for one new comer who end up jobless after failing to obtain his security clearance for work in China.No company would be obligated to do that if thats the company's choice.
Home Leave were honoured in most occasion.
In the recent couple of months many changes had taken place:
1)Housing Allowance increased from RMB 12250 to RMB 14000
2) Basic pay adjusted by 4,8% ( Shanghai CPI) effective 1st Jan 08.
3) Travel allowances increase from RMB 2500 to RMB 4500
4) 70 hrs guarantee extended to all pilots.
5) Foreign Insurance medical coverage in negotiation stage in view of pilots interest when flying in USA and Europe.
So Guys.... think about it....
