I have to appologize , the " try to some more balanced reporting" has gone out of the window. 1) ALPAS negotiater is changed in the middle of the battle. 2) I read a full page article in the Straight Times which stated that my income is above that of a Cathay Pilot who earns $ 800.000 a year. I have never read such a nonsense on one page. My computer skills are too limited to put the link here but I am sure there is some clever cookie around who can do this. Sad day for the pilot community in Singapore. First saving action: NEVER BUY THE ST AGAIN.
