Sniffer - You sate that a command trainee failed his command because he didn't show enough 'respect' to Capt. YY. Was this actually written on his training report? Where does that information come from - how do we know it is hard fact please?
Did you know, Sniffer, that the police/ISS in Singapore are very, very good at tracking down people who send offensive mail, by any means, especially life threats, and that the penalties are harsh and would certainly cost a pilot his job?
As a swop has to be applied for and approved several weeks in advance why would anyone want to blame the expat. captain for anything? He can't forecast the actual path of typhoons any better than the Met. office!
