hvpilot Patience Patience!! You only started negotiations one month ago. In Singapore Airlines it took 2 1/2 years to get our collective ageement at a time I might add when SIA were making ever increasing profits!!
When the pilots rejected it we were told by the new ex armchair Airforce General he would take it to the Courts {whicb are Gov't controlled}l and we would then only get 6 months backlog of pay as against the 2 1/2 years owed!!!! Naturally we all fell in line!!

Had anyone gone on strike if a Local then he would be in Chiang jail faster than you could say Nik Leeson and if ever let out would have difficulty even getting a job sweeping up in a hawker centre!
If an expat you would be on next flight out of Singapore.
