Absolutely right Drool! Its the Singaporeans who started it all this "asean thing", even in AHK I am made to beleive.
Its probably for their ego, arrogance and selve interest to be so-called 'airline managers' overnite!!
Using racism to elevate their inferiority complex I guess. Really sad and too bad aviation is leading to this state of proffesionalism.
Wonder how qualified and what management experience the 'Singaporeans' and 'Dick Stew' are/have over the old management team..??
Good luck!!
