Hypocrisy or what?
Could this be the same Dr. Cheong that, having finally agreed a bonus formula with the pilots, on publishing of the company figures immedialtely renaged on it and caused a prelonged delay and pay-out? Similar to the protracted negotiations for the CA that eventually involved thirty months back pay which he insisted be paid in two increments without interest? And as for saying that overseas staff, (excluding pilots), get treated the same, would he care to attend a meeting of the ground staff in, say, AMS, LHR, FRA and America and see if they agree with him?
Dr. Cheong is making very cheap mileage out of the ALPA(S) refusal to lie down and be stuffed, here on PPRuNe and in the Straits Times it is relatively harmless but he may wish to change his tune fairly quickly before his utterings get out in to the wider audience where his gross miss management and his malign hatred of tech crew is exposed.
All power to your elbow ALPA(S), Dr Cheong is playing with words and emotions in an effort to cover up his own shortcomings, blaming the pilots is just about as low as one can go. Dr Cheong, from his statements, comes across as a pathetic little man who seems to have run out of basic good manners and basic good reason who has never taken the employees seriously, only his beloved shareholders.
