SilkAir releases 8 expatriate pilots
In The Straits Times of 30 April 2003, Home Section, page H4,
"Yesterday, its regional carrier SilkAir said it was releasing eight expatriate pilots in accordance with their terms of employment before their contracts ended, after suspending 35 weekly services as part of cost-cutting measures"
Fellow ppruners please take note of the carefully worded statement from The Straits Times, there is no mention of retrenching but releasing the pilots.
Is this a face-saving measure too?
