Thermal,

You sound like a broken record, kept spinning on the same track.

What is wrong with a national airline firing its non-national first ? This happens everywhere in the world.

If the decision is to fire all SIN based personnel earning more than OBS pilots before ANY OBS pilots is let go, what message would this send to the rest of its workforce ?
Not to mention what impact would have on the operations should SIA lose its most experienced pilots, with intimate knowledge of the policies and history.

SIA is always short on captains thanks to a very myopic policy by the previous DFO who runs the department on a deficit, leaving the current team, amongst others with a backlog annual leave of over 15,000 days.

The OBS pilots are roped in to cover the cracks of the mistakes of the previous DFO in his man power planning, now that there is surplus of man power, there is no need for OBS crews.

By the way, me think you are a OBS pilot in the SIA ranks.
