A possibility...
Per CDRW's post, we have 14 B744 passenger airframes, all of which were to be retired by 2011.
Chew Choon Seng announced 17 airframes will be retired in the coming period from April '08 to March '09.
It may be highly likely that 14 of the 17 will be B744 passenger airframes, leaving three additional airframes to park; probably the older B777's.
Not good for B744 Mailine expats, or for B777 expats with contracts pending that may not be renewed.
B744 Mainline locals will not be retrenched. They will go to the new planes on the way.
This is just my two cents...
For what it's worth, there's a ray of sunshine in every cloud. I don't see it yet, but it's there. Good luck in pulling a positive out of this difficult situ.
