MASTake you have to realise that SIA is an airline run by guys from the North. We ARE what makes up this great airline. Locals should realise that WE are SIA. If everyone who was from the North walked out tomorrow, you would have no airline left. Our CEO was from UM!
Another thing you should realise is that its the Locals who bitch about the airline more than anyone else. SIA is an airline operated by us guys and girls from the North, remember that.
Accidents do happen and coming into contact with ground equipment is nothing new. There are "incidents" that take place every day and is not isolated to SQ alone.
Just because the Singapore gomen are such brown-nosers to the Taiwanese, this has to be blown out of proportion. Taiwan has a third rate safety record in all aspects of its aviation industry.
In addition to that the press report is not by any means factual and one should refrain from making fact out of fiction. No doubt there was an "incident" but did not warrant immediate action. This was a Command decision and we should respect that.
Face facts, SQ is also just lining itself up for one of our aircraft to be impounded on a safety issue by the Taiwanese.
